Arsenal Eyes Bayern Midfielder Leon Goretzka for Summer

Arsenal is reportedly close to signing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, who will depart the club when his contract expires.

Arsenal’s summer plans now include a bid for 31‑year‑old German international Leon Goretzka, who has been a key player for Bayern Munich and has accumulated Champions League experience. The club had explored a deal in January, but Goretzka chose to stay until the end of the season.

Interest also comes from Serie A clubs Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus, but Goretzka’s preferred destination is the Premier League. Arsenal’s midfield, anchored by Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard, could benefit from Goretzka’s experience in high‑stakes matches.
