Goretzka Contacts Flick to Signal Openness to Barcelona Reunion

An expiring June contract positions him for a potential free move.

Overview

Mundo Deportivo reports the Bayern Munich midfielder has told Hansi Flick he would welcome playing for Barcelona again.
His contract runs out in June, allowing him to begin talks with other clubs from January 1 without Bayern’s approval.
Barcelona are not prioritizing a midfield signing, and competition is strong with Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Eric Garcia, Marc Casado and Marc Bernal in the group.
Bayern are reportedly exploring a renewal, while Tottenham, Napoli and Atletico Madrid have been linked as possible suitors.
Goretzka has experienced reduced status at Bayern, and a loan reunion discussed by Flick last winter did not materialize.
