"As things stand, the tendency with Leon Goretzka is towards a departure in the summer, even though a final decision has not been made yet. Goretzka is one of the high earners - and the fact Bayern are on the lookout for a potential successor (Nathan De Cat) indicates that the German international is unlikely to get a new deal."
"This season, Aleksandar Pavlović has firmly overtaken Leon Goretzka in the midfield pecking order, pushing the veteran Germany international to regular bench appearances. Meanwhile, Tom Bischof is really pushing hard to get more minutes. Given Bayern's aforementioned quest to trim the wage bill, perhaps Leon Goretzka's wage simply does not match how the squad needs him and it could see him offloaded once his contract expires in 2026."
Bayern Munich continues trimming its wage bill after letting high earners Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller and Kingsley Coman leave. Leon Goretzka is one of the club's high earners and the tendency points toward a summer departure, although no final decision has been made. Bayern are scouting a potential successor, Nathan De Cat, which suggests a new deal for Goretzka is unlikely. Aleksandar Pavlović has overtaken Goretzka in the midfield pecking order, relegating the veteran to regular bench appearances while Tom Bischof pushes for more minutes. Goretzka's wage may not match his current role and he could be offloaded when his contract expires in 2026.
