Inter Milan ‘Tempted’ to Enter Three-Horse Race for Bayern Munich Midfielder Leon Goretzka

Milan, Italy – Inter Milan have joined the queue of elite clubs monitoring Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, whose contract is winding down toward a potential free-agent status this summer, sources have confirmed to L’Interista.

Goretzka, 30, has spent seven trophy-laden seasons in Bavaria since arriving in 2018, accumulating a Champions League winner’s medal and nearly 70 senior caps for Germany. With no extension agreed, the 1.89 m box-to-box operator is expected to be one of the most sought-after names on the market, drawing early attention from Manchester United, city rivals AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Turkish giants Galatasaray.

Inter’s sporting hierarchy, led by technical director Cristian Chivu, have identified midfield reinforcements as a priority ahead of the next campaign. Chivu is particularly keen to inject greater physicality and athleticism into the engine room, attributes that perfectly align with Goretzka’s profile. The German’s blend of aerial dominance, ball-carrying strength and top-level experience is viewed as an ideal complement to the creative stylists already at Simone Inzaghi’s disposal.

While the player’s credentials are enticing, any deal would hinge on financial parameters. Goretzka presently earns approximately €9 million per season at the Allianz Arena, a salary that dwarfs Inter’s current wage ceiling. Yet with no transfer fee required, the Nerazzurri see room for negotiation, focusing on a remuneration package and sporting project that could persuade the midfielder to swap Germany for Italy.

Inter’s interest remains at the exploratory stage, but the possibility of securing a proven, elite-tier performer without a purchase fee ensures the situation will be tracked closely as the club refines its summer strategy. Should an agreement on wages be reached, the Giuseppe Meazza could become the next destination in Goretzka’s decorated career, intensifying a transfer battle that already features two of England and Italy’s most storied clubs.
