"Atlético would be willing to pay a maximum of €5m fee for Leon Goretzka. Bayern would save €6-7m on the player's salary for the rest of the season. Concrete negotiations took place today. Still no final decision by the player, but as things stand, the current tendency is that Goretzka will stay and finish the season with Bayern. In that case, Atlético would still be interested in Goretzka as a free agent in the summer."
"Unless something unexpected happens, the tendency is for Goretzka to stay until the end of the season. But should he still leave this window, Bayern are currently not planning to sign a replacement. The club is saving money for the expensive contract extensions (Upamecano, Kane, Laimer) and focused on the summer transfer window (De Cat, Eichhorn remain targets). The plan for the rest of the season would be to replace Goretzka with internal options."
Atlético would pay up to €5m to pursue Leon Goretzka this month while Bayern would save about €6–7m in salary for the rest of the season. Concrete negotiations occurred but the player has not made a final decision. The prevailing inclination is for Goretzka to remain at Bayern and finish the season, with Atlético retaining interest in signing him as a free agent in summer. If he departs during the current window, Bayern do not plan to sign an immediate replacement. Bayern are conserving funds for contract extensions (Upamecano, Kane, Laimer) and focusing on summer targets (De Cat, Eichhorn), planning to use internal options for the remainder of the season.
