AC Milan are pursuing Leon Goretzka on a free transfer when his Bayern Munich contract ends in June. The 30‑year‑old’s high wages and agent fees complicate the move, but a confirmed signing would boost Milan’s midfield and could shorten their Serie A/Champions League odds — punters might back Milan in futures or target Goretzka in player goals/assists markets.
AC Milan eye Leon Goretzka as free transfer target
AC Milan have opened talks about signing Leon Goretzka once his contract at Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season. The Germany international, noted for his box‑to‑box play and timely goals, is seen as a potential immediate upgrade to Milan’s midfield options.
Contract status and financial obstacles
The 30‑year‑old earns around €7m per season at Bayern and has been unwilling to accept a pay cut. That wage demand, plus expected agent fees, makes any move technically challenging for Milan despite the player being available as a free agent in the summer window.
What Goretzka adds on the pitch
Goretzka brings physicality, late‑arriving goals and leadership from big‑game experience. His presence would allow tactical flexibility — offering box‑to‑box drive, aerial threat at set pieces and rotation cover across central midfield roles, strengthening Milan’s depth for domestic and European campaigns.
Transfer feasibility and likely timeline
With the contract expiring in June, negotiations would center on personal terms and how Milan manage the budgetary impact. The club must balance salary structure and agent costs against the immediate sporting benefits before finalising any deal ahead of the summer transfer window.
Betting implications and what punters should watch
A completed signing could shorten Milan’s odds in Serie A title and Champions League markets and improve their probabilities in top‑four and European progression bets. Punters should monitor official confirmations, wage reports and how quickly Milan integrate Goretzka — also consider player markets (goals/assists) where his late‑box runs could be influential.
