"Leon Goretzka has improved his chances of prolonging his future at Bayern Munich. The Germany international has been an ever-present figure in the Bavarians' 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign. Whilst the futures of Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano remain shrouded in doubt, the FC Bayern bosses are understood to be very satisfied with Goretzka's performance levels. Understandably so, with the midfielder's season average putting him into Munich's best XI of the season so far."
"Goretzka has survived...a lot. The coaching changes, the teammates, the up-and-downs of it all...Goretzka just keeps going despite being the bane of the respective existences for a very vocal sect of the Bayern Munich fanbase. However, just a as a minor counterpoint to the #GoretzkaOut movement, he could be shifting into a different type of role within the team, much like Serge Gnabry has."
Leon Goretzka has become an ever-present figure for Bayern Munich in the 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign, with performance levels placing him in Munich's best XI of the season so far. Bayern decision-makers are reportedly pleased with his contributions, and the club may entertain contract-extension talks after Christmas or into the New Year despite earlier plans to consider selling him. Goretzka has endured coaching changes and vocal fan criticism while remaining consistent. Bayern could repurpose him as a lower-cost depth option similar to Serge Gnabry, raising the question of how much he might reduce his salary. Separately, a rumor links Bruno Fernandes to Bayern for around €70m.
