Bayern's Goretzka targets Arsenal move

Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka is reportedly leaning toward a move to Arsenal this summer, as his contract with the German champions will not be extended.

Leon Goretzka's future has drifted into uncertainty as Bayern Munich will not extend his contract this summer. The 31-year-old midfielder, who has fallen out of favor in Munich, has reportedly attracted interest from several European clubs including Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, and Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Bild, Goretzka is leaning toward a move to England, with Arsenal emerging as a potential destination. His salary of "well over ten million euros per year" presents a financial barrier for some clubs, but his experience and European pedigree could make him an attractive short-term addition for Arsenal as they seek midfield reinforcement.
