"While Vincent Kompany has largely preferred Alexander Pavloic in the Champions League alongside Joshua Kimmich, Goretzka has been used heavily in the Bundesliga. He has made 12 starts in the Bundesliga this season and has made a further two appearances from the bench, proving to be a utility player once again. It is unclear whether Goretzka will stay at the club beyond the summer, as he has not been offered a new deal, but he is unlikely to be sold in January."
"Christian Falk has told CFBayern that Atletico Madrid could look to sign the experienced German midfielder for free in the summer. According to Sky Germany, Barcelona could be interested in signing Goretzka next summer. Goretzka knows Hansi Flick from their time together at Munich from 2019 to 2021 - first as assistant coach, later as head coach - and at the national team. He was an undisputed starter for Bayern under his leadership, and the two could be reunited."
"Christian Falk explained the situation last month: Bayern Munich aren't, as things currently stand, planning with Leon Goretzka for the 2026/27 season. He's got a very high salary, and they want to mix things up a bit with the squad. There were rumours aplenty flying about this week as Goretzka was spotted deleting photos associated with Bayern Munich from his Instagram account. So, everybody was wondering if something had happened, but in the end, he's just not a big fan of social media."
Leon Goretzka joined Bayern in 2018 from Schalke and has made over 285 appearances, scoring 46 goals and winning six Bundesliga titles and one Champions League. He has started 12 Bundesliga matches this season and added two substitute appearances, operating as a utility midfielder while receiving less Champions League game time. Bayern have not offered a new contract and his future beyond the summer is uncertain, though a January sale is unlikely. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have been linked with free transfers next summer, while Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham have reportedly been contacted by his representatives. A reunion with Hansi Flick remains possible.
