AC Milan are advancing talks to sign free‑agent Leon Goretzka from Bayern Munich, with sporting director Igli Tare optimistic. Betting impact: markets could shorten Milan’s odds to land Goretzka and nudge their title/strength markets; punters may back Milan in transfer markets and adjust match odds if he joins.
AC Milan ramp up pursuit of Leon Goretzka as free agent
AC Milan have intensified efforts to secure Leon Goretzka on a free transfer when his Bayern Munich contract expires on June 30. The Germany international, who turns 31 next week, is reportedly ready for a new challenge after eight years in Munich.
Negotiations and Milan’s strategy
Sporting director Igli Tare is said to be pushing hard to agree personal terms before rival clubs can intervene. Milan benefit from existing relationships with the player’s representatives — the same agents handled a January signing — which could streamline talks and give the Rossoneri an edge.
Why Goretzka fits Milan’s profile
Goretzka offers physicality, versatility and experience at the highest level, qualities that would bolster Milan’s midfield options. The club is expected to promise regular playing time as part of its pitch to the player, positioning him as a central figure in midfield plans.
Competition and likely timeline
Interest is strong across Europe, with top Spanish clubs also monitoring the situation. Milan’s approach appears urgent, aiming to finalize a deal quickly to avoid a bidding race once the window opens.
Transfer and betting implications
A confirmed move would strengthen Milan’s transfer narrative and could influence short-term betting markets: odds for Milan to sign Goretzka are likely to shorten, and markets tied to Milan’s season objectives or match outcomes might be reassessed by bettors should the transfer go through.
