AC Milan Explore Free Transfer for Bayern Midfielder Leon Goretzka

Milan have held initial talks with the player’s camp for a potential summer move as his contract runs down, with salary plus agent fees cited as hurdles.

Overview

Reports from Italian outlets say Milan have enquired about signing Goretzka if he becomes available on a free at season’s end.
Goretzka’s Bayern Munich contract expires at the end of June, and multiple reports indicate an exit is likely without an extension.
The move is framed for the summer window rather than January, aligning with the timing of his contract expiry.
Gazzetta dello Sport reports the midfielder earns about €7 million per year and was not open to a pay cut at Bayern, which, along with agent fees, complicates a Milan deal.
Transfer chatter also links Barcelona, Arsenal, Tottenham and Napoli as potential destinations, with some analysis noting Milan’s midfield plans could influence whether they proceed.
