Overview
- Sport Bild reports Bayern executives have told Leon Goretzka’s camp that a summer departure is the prevailing expectation, with his deal running through 2026.
- AC Milan have made exploratory enquiries for a potential summer move, according to Di Marzio and Italian reports, with Atlético Madrid, Tottenham and Barcelona also linked.
- Bayern do not view a like-for-like replacement as necessary and see Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Tom Bischof and Konrad Laimer as sufficient cover, with academy options under review.
- Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is being monitored as a possible target, but a reported £80–100 million price and strong Premier League interest make a deal unlikely at present.
- Nico Schlotterbeck has been deprioritized for now, with Dayot Upamecano expected to renew; Bayern are tracking Feyenoord full-back Givairo Read and could use Josip Stanisic more centrally, while Marc Guéhi remains a contingent option.
