"The experienced Germany international turned down an approach from the Gunners at the end of the January transfer window, as reported by Christian Falk in his CF Bayern Insider column. Still, Falk also noted that Goretzka sees himself as being a good fit for Premier League football, so that could be good news for Arsenal as they're expected to try again for him this summer, according to Calciomercato."
"so that could be good news for Arsenal as they're expected to try again for him this summer, according to Calciomercato. Goretzka has had a fine career at Bayern, but is not getting any younger, so it perhaps makes sense that he's about to become available and that big clubs are interested. Calciomercato's report also names AC Milan as an option for the 31-year-old, while Falk also reported on interest from the likes of Juventus and Napoli."
"Tonali might be a difficult target, however, as Newcastle surely won't sell unless they receive crazy money, so that might make Goretzka a good alternative. Above all, AFC probably need depth more than they need someone to compete with Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi for a starting spot. Tonali is someone Arsenal would sign if they wanted to replace either of those two, whereas Goretzka could be a good rotation option"
Leon Goretzka rejected a January approach but sees himself suited to Premier League football and will become a free agent in the summer. Multiple big clubs show interest in the 31-year-old, with AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli among named options. Arsenal are likely to pursue Goretzka again as part of a midfield rebuild and to add experienced rotational depth. Sandro Tonali is another midfield target, but Newcastle are unlikely to sell easily, making Tonali a harder acquisition. Arsenal appear to need depth more than a direct replacement for Declan Rice or Martin Zubimendi.
