Bayern Munich will say goodbye to Leon Goretzka after the DFB-Pokal final against VfB Stuttgart. Goretzka has been a divisive figure at the club, but he has consistently given his best. He expressed disappointment about missing the chance to win the Champions League this year while emphasizing the need to focus on the next match and give everything to win the cup. He was a key figure in Bayern’s 2020 Champions League-winning squad. Even without a Champions League title this time, a DFB-Pokal win would be a meaningful achievement. After leaving, he is linked with top European clubs and could have a role under Julian Nagelsmann, supporting his transfer value and future success.
""I would like to thank you all. We all felt that we could win the Champions League this year. It really hurts. But we have another game in a week - and we'll give it our all again to win the cup," as captured via @iMiaSanMia."
"It is sad to see Goretzka leave without the high of a Champions League title, but Goretzka was a key figure in the 2020 UCL winning squad, and a DFB-Pokal win would still be a high note for the club and player."
"Despite leaving the club, Goretzka has been linked to many top squads in Europe and will surely continue on a successful career outside of Germany."
"Goretzka might play a key role under Julian Nagelsmann this summer, something that surely won't hurt his stock in the transfer market this summer. Thank you for everything Leon!"
