"Leon Goretzka's wish is clear: he wants to stay at Bayern and extend his contract. The midfielder fully identifies with the club and has repeatedly fought his way back into the team in recent years. However, with the competition in his position - and Bayern increasingly relying on younger players like Pavlović and Bischof - The truth is: Even though Goretzka would like to stay, 'the signs point to a departure' in the summer [@BILD]"
"Goretzka is an easy player to love and appreciated for his contributions both on and off the field. However, at 30 going on 31, in a midfield that is in the middle of a reload, it is hard to see him continue on unless he is willing to accept a reduced role and salary - which a player of his caliber should not have to do."
Leon Goretzka wants to stay at Bayern Munich and extend his contract. The midfielder identifies strongly with the club and has repeatedly battled back into the team. Bayern faces midfield competition and is increasingly relying on younger players such as Tom Bischof and Aleksandar Pavlović. At 30 going on 31, Goretzka would likely need to accept a reduced role and salary to continue. Joshua Kimmich remains the midfield lynchpin while the club undergoes a reload. Goretzka's current contract is expiring and the situation points toward a probable summer departure.
