Moretto responds to ESPN report about Goretzka-Milan agreement: "A long way to go"

"“I can tell you that in the last few hours ESPN has said that Milan is very close to signing Goretzka. The truth is that nothing has changed compared to what we've been telling you,” he began."

"“Milan first of all needs to get into the Champions League, then we need to understand at the end of the year, when everyone sits down around a table and understands a little about the evolutions for the future, what kind of path they want to take.”"

"“But above all, I'll also tell you about the Gortzka situation and Milan has no updates regarding commissions, signing bonus and the player's salary, which are still three important aspects from a financial standpoint. To date, no progress has been made.”"

"“Milan are following and would like to sign Goretkza, but from here to saying he's close, in my opinion, there's still a long way to go. There's nothing new, I would remain cautious, because I know there are still situations to be resolved.”"

Reports claim AC Milan are nearing an agreement to sign Leon Goretzka, who will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season as a free agent. Champions League football is presented as a prerequisite for the move. Milan’s midfield plans include adding experience alongside Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot. ESPN Deportes and ActuFoot suggest Milan are extremely close, but Matteo Moretto denies any change. Moretto says Milan still need Champions League qualification and that financial details—commissions, signing bonus, and the player’s salary—have not progressed. He advises caution because unresolved issues remain before any deal can be considered close.
