Transfer Talk: Man United, West Ham eye Bayern's Goretzka
Posted Thursday, September 19, 2024 by ESPN
Two Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation of Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, reports The Sun.
Manchester United and West Ham United are reported to be interested in the 29-year-old, and interest from other clubs could surface in January.
Goretzka has been unable to win a starting place in manager Vincent Kompany's side in the opening weeks of the season, and Bayern will look to move him on at the next opportunity.
Bayern are open to an initial loan that would include a permanent clause, though there are concerns that his £273,000-per-week salary could prove to be a stumbling block.
Goretzka, who arrived at the Allianz Arena on a free transfer in 2018, made 30 league appearances last season, but the acquisition of Joao Palhinha from Fulham has seen him fall down the pecking order amid difficult competition for places with also Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic.
The Germany international scored in Bayern's 9-2 win in the Champions League over Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute.
