Leon Goretzka is confirmed to be the subject of advanced talks between Milan and Bayern Munich, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The midfielder has long been on the radar of Milan, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Milan have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Juventus, Inter and Arsenal are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. So far this season, Milan are steady at both ends (1.45 goals scored per game, 0.82 goals conceded per game). The role for Leon Goretzka would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Bayern Munich are said to be exploring Pape Matar Sarr, Denzel Dumfries and Brian Brobbey with Milan likewise connected to Noah Atubolu, Moise Kean and Min-jae Kim.
