"It is NOT TRUE: Bayern want to sell Leon Goretzka in January. But, it is true that the Germany international wants to stay at the Allianz Arena. The 30-year-old sees a chance to stay at Bayern Munich - he'd love to stay at the club. However, as everyone knows, he's one of the top earners at about €17m-18m [£14.9m-15.8m] gross. Bayern have made a decision to talk to the midfielder and his agents next year about a new contract, and then they will see if he's willing to lower his earnings. If so, there's a chance for Leon Goretzka to stay."
"Otherwise, I know there were many clubs that knocked on the door for the footballer. There were rumours, for instance, about Juventus, which is potentially interesting for the winter. Fenerbahçe should also be interested in signing Goretzka in January. I also heard that Galatasaray had a little hope of signing him, but there's no chance - Leon Goretzka wants to stay, and we will see what Bayern will offer at the start of 2026, and if they will find an agreement."
"If not, there are many clubs that will be prepared to sign the German. Bayern Munich are already testing the market for younger players, cheaper players (in terms of salary), which is why the club is first holding talks with Goretzka. However, it's possible he could leave in the summer - but a winter exit is off the table."
Bayern Munich do not intend to sell Leon Goretzka during the January transfer window. Goretzka wants to remain at the Allianz Arena and sees a chance to stay at Bayern Munich. He earns around €17m-18m gross, and Bayern plan to negotiate a new contract with him and his agents next year to discuss lowering his salary. If he accepts reduced earnings, he can stay; if not, multiple clubs have shown interest. Bayern are exploring younger, lower-salary options, making a winter exit unlikely but a summer departure possible.
