Leon Goretzka’s eight-season tenure at Bayern Munich has ended with his contract expiring, making him a free agent. Once a key player for both Bayern and the German national team, Goretzka saw reduced playing time last season under manager Vincent Kompany and during the World Cup under Julian Nagelsmann. A potential move to Galatasaray in 2024 did not materialize due to his salary expectations.
Goretzka, formerly considered Germany's best box-to-box midfielder, experienced a decline in athleticism as younger players emerged. Last season, he primarily featured as a substitute for Bayern, and at the World Cup, he made three appearances totaling 96 minutes for Germany. A transfer to Aston Villa could offer Goretzka an opportunity to revitalize his career. He was reluctant to accept a reduction in salary, which limited his options while under contract at Bayern.
