The German international is reportedly eyeing a move to the Catalan giants as he seeks a fresh start following his departure from Bayern Munich.
Leon Goretzka is on the hunt for a new challenge. Having seen his contract with Bayern Munich expire, the German midfielder is currently a free agent and exploring his next move. According to Matteo Moretto on ‘Radio MARCA’, FC Barcelona have emerged as a primary option, with the player having directly reached out to the club to offer his services.
The Catalan giants may be forced into the market for a holding midfielder to cover for the sidelined Frenkie de Jong, who is set for a lengthy spell out with a knee injury. Goretzka’s availability has piqued interest at the Camp Nou, a development also highlighted by ‘SPORT’.
Hansi Flick is well-acquainted with Goretzka’s capabilities; the Germany international produced the finest football of his career under the current FC Barcelona boss. However, securing the midfielder’s signature will be anything but simple.
A string of high-profile suitors are already circling the midfielder. Several Premier League clubs are reportedly eager to land the experienced operator, viewing him as the ideal candidate to provide instant authority and stability in the engine room.
For the time being, the responsibility of anchoring the midfield in De Jong’s absence falls to Marc Bernal, a burgeoning talent carrying the weight of high expectations for both the present and the future.
