Juventus has revived contact with free‑agent German midfielder Leon Goretzka, who left Bayern Munich after eight seasons. Club director Giovanni Carnevali and coach Luciano Spalletti are assessing his experience and leadership to strengthen the midfield for the upcoming Serie A campaign.

Sky Sport reports Juventus is prepared to meet the player's salary demand, estimated at about €7 million per season, and is competing with other major European clubs. Goretzka’s international pedigree with Germany and his long spell at Bayern are seen as key assets for the Bianconeri’s squad improvement.
