"Leon Goretzka decided to stay at Bayern until the end of the season purely for sporting reasons, as Atlético Madrid were ready to match his Bayern salary for the rest of the season. Goretzka sees a big chance of winning his second Champions League title, 7th Bundesliga title and even a treble this season. He does not want to miss out on that and wants to leave on a high after 8 years at the club."
"In addition, after he made his comeback with the national team last March, Goretzka does not want to jeopardize his World Cup chances by moving to a new club and league mid-season, since this could be his last major tournament for Germany."
Leon Goretzka chose to remain at Bayern until the season's end for purely sporting reasons despite Atlético Madrid offering to match his salary for the remainder. He believes Bayern have a strong chance of winning his second Champions League, a seventh Bundesliga title, and possibly a treble this season. He wants to finish his eight-year spell at the club on a high rather than leave mid-season. After his national team comeback in March, Goretzka is wary that a mid-season move to a new club and league could jeopardize his World Cup selection, which may be his last major tournament for Germany.
