Milan could swoop for Bayern Munichโ€™s midfield engine

Bayern Munichโ€™s Leon Goretzka is reportedly a target for AC Milan. Italian media reported on a potential move for the German midfielder today, and the rumour mill is spinning, especially considering his status at the Allianz Arena.

While not applicable for the January window, Goretzkaโ€™s current Bayern contract expires at the end of June, and has triggered several favourable suitors.

As per Transfermarktโ€™s estimations, Milan enter among a group including Barcelona, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Napoli as potential destinations for the 30-year-old.

While Goretzkaโ€™s ability anywhere in the midfield comes as an impressive weapon for any teamโ€™s armoury, the permutations have to be right for the Rossoneri for this move to go ahead.

Right now, Bayernโ€™s number eight earns โ‚ฌ7 million per season, which would have to be lowered if he moved to Italy. Agent fees would also inevitably add to the deal.

Furthermore, Luka Modricโ€™s future at the club must be considered. If he adds to his initial 12-month deal, Goretzkaโ€™s move could become difficult. It begs the question whether the San Siro side would let the 40-year-old Croatian legend, whoโ€™s currently on โ‚ฌ6.5m a year, go for the sake of the slightly younger 67-cap German.
