"A relatively quiet winter transfer window finally starts to heat up a bit for Bayern Munich fans, but on the departure side of the airport. Atletico Madrid has expressed concrete interest in midfielder Leon Goretzka, looking to make a serious move in the upcoming days, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg. Atletico's football director, Mateu Alemany, has held talks with Goretzka's camp in Munich. However, there have been no formal negotiations between the clubs' executives just yet."
"Diego Simeone wants the German midfielder this winter as a potential replacement for Conor Gallagher, who left the club to join Tottenham Hotspur. With Gallagher's departure, Diego Simeone's midfield options are thin, with only three regular players: Johnny Cardoso, Pablo Barrios, and Koke. Atletico Madrid is still fighting in all three major competitions. They are sitting third in the La Liga, only eight points from the top."
Atletico Madrid has expressed concrete interest in Leon Goretzka, with football director Mateu Alemany meeting Goretzka's camp but no formal club negotiations yet. Diego Simeone seeks a midfield replacement after Conor Gallagher’s exit and currently fields three regular midfielders: Johnny Cardoso, Pablo Barrios, and Koke. Atletico sit third in La Liga and remain active in the UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey. Atletico can sign Goretzka in January or wait until his contract expires in the summer. Napoli and Fenerbahce also show interest. Bayern appears unlikely to extend Goretzka’s contract after past disappointing seasons; he made 18 Bundesliga appearances, 15 starts, and scored once this year.
