As per The Daily Mail, new Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann wants to keep Leon Goretzka at Bayern Munich this summer.
The German midfielder has just one year left on his present contract with the Bavarians. A vital player of the German side under Hansi Flick, he seems to have the same task to carry out under the new manager.
Nagelsmann will take over at Bayern this summer as the Germans hope to establish another powerful era under the former RB Leipzig manager. One of the best young managers in the game, he is quick to keep the best players at the club.
As indicated by the report, Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn has confirmed that discussions with the player over a contract are working out in a good way. Up until now, they are yet to agree. Goretzka is an important player and it seems awkward that the player is linked with moves to another club.
Manchester United is effectively trying to land one Bundesliga player this year. With Jadon Sancho’s move sealed, the Red Devils would now be able to concentrate somewhere else. With Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek possibly set to leave, it is a necessity that they should build up the midfield soon.
Goretzka wants to stay in his country of origin and is hoping to expand upon his contract soon. Obviously, he would love to stay as he is considered an important player.
Goretzka is not only a good midfielder but also a physically strong player who can take up the challenge of playing in the Premier League. Manchester United will be facing competition from both Real Madrid and Barcelona, both of whom are likewise keen on signing him this summer.
