"When going for players on a Bosman, you have to take into account that the asking prices - both for wages and signing bonuses - are higher in the absence of a transfer fee. This is also the case with Goretzka, who currently earns €7m at Bayern Munich and wants the same from his next club."
"To the huge salary, we must add a significant signing bonus, between €8-10m. This would therefore be a significant deal, especially for the budgets of Italian teams. Milan are willing to try, but not at those prices, especially given their stance on commissions."
"Arsenal did not make an offer in January for Goretzka despite reports, but have made it clear that they are very interested. The player for his part would love a move to the Premier League and Arsenal would have no problem paying a salary of €7m plus the signing-on fee."
Leon Goretzka will leave Bayern Munich on a free transfer after refusing to renew his contract. At 31, he seeks a final major contract with €7m annual wages matching his current Bayern salary, plus a significant €8-10m signing bonus. AC Milan, Inter, and Arsenal have shown interest, but the financial demands present obstacles for Italian clubs with limited budgets. Milan directors hope to strengthen their squad with an international-level midfielder, though Goretzka's asking price makes negotiations challenging. Arsenal appears more willing to meet his financial requirements and the player prefers a Premier League move.
