Milan’s pursuit of Leon Goretzka appears to be uphill work as the German midfielder sets his sights on a different destination.
According to Calciomercato, the Bayern Munich veteran prefers a move to the Premier League for the next chapter of his career. Despite the Rossoneri’s clear interest and the fact that the club has made contact with his entourage on multiple occasions, Goretzka seems increasingly likely to end up in England.
The competition for his signature is fierce. While Arsenal have long been linked with the 31-year-old, Tottenham Hotspur have also joined the race, providing the German international with two high-profile London options. For Milan, the obstacles are not only tactical but also financial. The report notes that significant salary problems could hold the club back, as management is already well aware of the hefty wage demands required to lure him away from Bavaria.
While Milan continue to monitor the situation, the combination of the player’s preference for the English game and the financial weight of the operation makes a move to San Siro look improbable at this stage.
