Manchester United Set to Sign Leon Goretzka for Just £34million
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag can continue his overhaul of the club’s midfield this summer with the signing of Bayern Munich star Leon Goretzka for just £34million. The Germany international was a target for Ten Hag in 2022 but informed the Dutchman that he wanted to stay at the Allianz Arena. However, Goretzka has failed to win over Thomas Tuchel and Bayern are now willing to listen to ‘serious’ offers for the midfielder.
Goretzka’s Struggles at Bayern Munich
Goretzka has been at Bayern since 2018, when he joined from Schalke 04. He has since made over 100 appearances for the club, scoring 18 goals and providing 15 assists. However, he has failed to win over Tuchel, who is looking to pair Joshua Kimmich with Konrad Laimer next season. With Bayern attempting to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham, they must raise significant funds in order to complete a deal and as such, Goretzka could be available for as little as £34million.
Ten Hag’s Overhaul of Manchester United’s Midfield
Ten Hag is desperate to revamp Manchester United’s midfield and has already signed Mason Mount this summer. Fred, who has 12 months left on his deal at Old Trafford, is attracting interest from Fulham, as well as clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. United are also willing to listen to offers for Scott McTominay, who could leave the club following interest from West Ham.
Conclusion
With Goretzka potentially available for just £34million, Ten Hag could be set to make a major signing this summer. The Germany international would be a great addition to the Manchester United midfield and could help the club challenge for major honours next season.
