Manchester United have joined Arsenal and other clubs in the pursuit of Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka.
The 31-year-old's contract expires in June and he has confirmed his decision to leave Bayern Munich after this season.
His contract status and experience make him an attractive option for Manchester United, Arsenal and other clubs in the market.
Despite his decision to leave, Vincent Kompany continues to trust the midfielder, who has made 37 appearances so far this season.
His Bundesliga statistics per game are as follows:
- Intercept: 0.9
- Tackle: 0.8
- Possession won (final third): 0.3
- Recovered balls: 3.1
- Clearance: 1.3
- Duel won: 2.6
Last month, Sports Witness broadcast news That the Gunners and their north London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, are pursuing him.
Manchester United will face Arsenal
gazzetta dello sport Now cover the latest on Manchester United, Arsenal and Serie A's interest in Leon Goretzka.
Italian clubs have a greater tendency to focus on free agents and this is also the case with the Bayern Munich star.
AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan are all keen on the Germany international. Last week, Sports Witness Covered claims from Italy That he would favor going to the Emirates.
Despite this and despite Inter Milan negotiating with his agent, Milan sporting director Igli Tare refused to give up.
Gazzetta have now taken notice of him and reported Manchester United have entered the pursuit of the player.
Both the Red Devils and Arsenal have 'already made moves for the free agent' and will battle for his signature in the summer. Juve, Milan and Inter Milan are also keen.
Goretzka earns €9m per year and requires at least €7m annually from his next club. All Italian clubs are willing to offer him a three-year deal, but wage demands have put him out of reach.
This would benefit Manchester United and Arsenal, who could fight for his signature after this season.
Manchester United should prioritize midfield signings
Michael Carrick has Casemiro, Coby Manu, Manuel Ugarte and Mason Mount as midfielders. The manager has shifted Bruno Fernandes into his preferred role as an attacking midfielder.
Casemiro has announced his decision to leave Old Trafford after this season. Ugarte, who has struggled for regular minutes, could also be gone. Even if he has to stay, Manchester United will need to bring in a new midfielder in the summer.
Leon Goretzka could replace Casemiro, while the Red Devils could make a big investment in another young midfielder.
