For the upcoming campaign, Manchester United is looking for a seasoned midfielder to play in the middle of the park with Kobbie Mainoo.
If media rumours are to be believed, Man Utd has made an aggressive attempt to acquire German international Leon Goretzka.
The midfielder for Bayern Munich has two years left on his contract; he will not extend it, and it is anticipated that he will depart the team this summer, according to Spanish outlet Nacional.
According to reports, the 29-year-old wants to leave the Bavarian team, and his decision hasn’t changed despite Vincent Kompany’s appointment as new manager.
In such a case, the Catalan media outlet reports that Manchester United has made a £33.8 million offer to buy Goretzka during the summer transfer season.
Erik ten Hag has personally asked to sign the former Schalke star because he would be a great addition to the Old Trafford team.
Goretzka is a flexible midfield player who can play in the No. 6, No. 8, and No. 10 positions with ease.
The Kaiser started 25 Bundesliga games for Bayern last season and had a direct hand in 15 goals (6 goals and 9 assists).
After winning every major title in Germany, he feels that it is time to take on a fresh challenge abroad.
Goretzka would be well rested before the new campaign began. Goretzka has made 57 appearances for Die Mannschaft, although he was left out of the squad for the European championships.
The midfield player is talented and experienced enough to succeed in the Premier League, but given that he will turn 30 in February of next year, we do not believe he would be a long-term answer.
Do you think Man Utd should spend big money to buy Leon Goretzka?
