Goretzka’s contract with Bayern expires at the end of the season, allowing him to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs. He came close to joining Atletico Madrid in January before talks collapsed, and his availability has since sparked widespread interest across Europe.
According to Italian reports, AC Milan had initially tracked the situation but have since shifted their attention toward Brazilian midfielder André of Corinthians. Napoli and Juventus are also said to be monitoring developments, though Inter are viewed as the most advanced among Serie A sides.
The German midfielder is believed to be seeking a three-year deal worth between €6 million and €6.5 million per season, aligning with Inter’s current wage structure for key players. With established links between his agency and the club, the groundwork appears solid but with Arsenal still firmly in contention, the final outcome remains far from certain.
