Goretzka Contacts Flick About Barcelona Move as January Talks Open
Flick's approval will shape any Barça pursuit, with rivals tracking a potential summer exit.
Overview
- Multiple reports say Leon Goretzka has reached out to Barcelona coach Hansi Flick to express willingness to reunite after their successful spell at Bayern.
- Under Bosman rules the Bayern midfielder can speak to foreign clubs from January 1, with his deal running to June 2026 and no renewal announced.
- Barcelona are not prioritising a midfield signing, making any approach contingent on Flick’s assessment rather than a club-led push.
- Napoli are monitoring the situation for summer per Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto, while CaughtOffside reports Tottenham talks and Atlético Madrid interest; no formal offers have been confirmed.
- Bayern are not expected to sanction a January sale, though CaughtOffside says a convincing proposal could be considered, and Goretzka’s salary is viewed as a potential hurdle for European suitors.
