According to Fichajes, Barcelona is considering signing the German star this summer.Leon Goretzka quickly became a key player in Bayern Munich’s midfield after joining from FC Schalke 04 in July 2018.
The 28-year-old has enjoyed tremendous success with the Bavarians, winning 5 Bundesliga titles and 1 UEFA Champions League.Despite Bayern’s dip in form this season, Goretzka has still shown impressive performances, contributing to 14 goals in 35 appearances. However, Goretzka’s future is uncertain as Bayern is planning to rebuild the squad to regain their position.
Goretzka may indeed leave Bayern.
Given this situation, Barcelona has begun to plan to approach the German star. The Camp Nou outfit is seeking a quality defensive midfielder to strengthen the midfield, so it’s no surprise they have their eyes on Goretzka.
Barcelona, despite possessing several quality midfielders, lacks someone who can excel in the defensive midfield role. Since the departure of Sergio Busquets, they have struggled to find a suitable replacement.
Therefore, Barcelona intends to strengthen their options for this position in the upcoming summer transfer window, with Goretzka being one of the priority targets.
