"Atlético Madrid have submitted a €2-3m offer to Bayern for Leon Goretzka. The Spanish club is also willing to cover Goretzka's Bayern salary for the rest of the season (around €8.5m). The player is convinced of the move. An agreement between the clubs is not expected to be a hurdle. The fee of just €2 million to €3 million is not overwhelming, but it would help Bayern Munich avoid losing the Germany international for free in July."
"🚨ℹ️ FC Bayern are currently on their way back from Eindhoven. Leon #Goretzka has NOT yet made a final decision, and there is NO agreement between FC Bayern and Atlético at this stage. In the next hours, the process will continue. Everything depends on Goretzka. Bayern are prepared to let him go if a suitable offer arrives. The only obstacle in this deal (aside of Goretzka's final decision) could be Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany, who might be reluctant to lose a veteran like Goretzka as the team chases a treble. There are bodies to slide into Goretzka roster slot (Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, David Santos Daiber, Felipe Chavez), but are they ready to compete consistently at a high-level? That is the big question."
Atlético Madrid have offered Bayern Munich €2–3 million for Leon Goretzka and will cover his remaining Bayern salary for the season, about €8.5 million. The player is reportedly convinced of the move, and an agreement between the clubs is not expected to be a hurdle. The modest fee would prevent Bayern losing Goretzka for free in July while the salary relief represents notable cost savings. Bayern say there is no agreement yet and the decision depends on Goretzka, with the club prepared to accept a suitable offer. Vincent Kompany could be reluctant to lose a veteran during a treble chase. Young midfielders and others could see expanded roles.
