Leon Goretzka Linked to Potential Barcelona Transfer

German midfielder Leon Goretzka is set to leave Bayern Munich after his contract expired on 30 June, making him a free agent. Transfer rumors have focused on a possible move to FC Barcelona, where former Bayern coach Hansi Flick now manages. Reports from Spanish media suggest Goretzka has signaled interest, but Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano says Barcelona have not contacted the player or his representatives.

Speculation also mentions interest from Juventus and MLS clubs, notably Chicago Fire, but Juventus appears hesitant due to the club’s Champions League status and Goretzka’s reported signing‑fee demands. Goretzka has indicated a preference for remaining in Europe, and a decision on his next club is expected soon.
