Tottenham Hotspur have officially entered negotiations to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, as the German international prepares to leave the Allianz Arena after eight trophy-laden seasons.
With Goretzka entering the final year of his contract in Munich, GiveMeSport reports that Spurs have identified the 31-year-old as a “strategic priority” to bolster Thomas Frank’s midfield. The German powerhouse is widely expected to seek a new challenge this summer, making him one of the most coveted market opportunities in European football.
A Battle of Giants
While Tottenham has made the first move, they face stiff competition from Serie A. Both Juventus and AC Milan are closely monitoring the situation, hoping to secure Goretzka on a cut-price deal or a free transfer at the end of his contract.
Despite rumors linking him to a reunion with Hansi Flick at Barcelona, top German journalist Christian Falk has dismissed interest from the Catalan club, leaving the door wide open for a Premier League switch.
Spurs’ Midfield Revolution
The pursuit of Goretzka follows an active winter window for Tottenham, which has already seen the arrivals of:
- Conor Gallagher: Signed from Atlético Madrid for £35 million.
- Souza: The promising young defender recruited from Santos.
Adding Goretzka would provide a level of experience rarely seen in the market. With over 300 Bundesliga appearances and 67 caps for Germany, his trophy cabinet includes six league titles and a Champions League winner’s medal.
