"This was a very interesting option for the German, but at this point, he'd already decided he wouldn't move in the winter. When Atletico Madrid knocked at his door, he made an official statement on his Instagram account as did Bayern Munich. It's not the way of Goretzka to break his word at the last minute even for Arsenal! I think he has a good idea for the Premier League. He believes his playing style suits the English top-flight."
"There's still, also, the interest from Atletico Madrid, so plenty of options for the future. Italy is also an opportunity, with interest from Juventus, Milan, Napoli. Arsenal, of course, would have been interesting for the midfielder, but the offer came too late on deadline day, which didn't leave anyone enough time to react. What a pity for Arsenal and Goretzka!"
Leon Goretzka feels his playing style suits the Premier League and considers a move to England possible. Arsenal submitted an offer for Goretzka shortly before the winter transfer deadline, but he had decided not to move midseason. Atletico Madrid also expressed interest, and Italy presents opportunities with Juventus, Milan and Napoli interested. Goretzka is portrayed as a player who keeps his word and avoided a midseason departure. Arsenal pursued him partly because Mikel Merino's injury left them light in midfield, leaving Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi as the primary reliable options.
