Leon Goretzka to leave Bayern Munich this summer
Leon Goretzka will leave Bayern Munich when his contract expires this summer, ending an eight-year spell with the record Bundesliga champions.
Goretzka has made nearly 300 appearances for Bayern in all competitions since joining from Schalke in 2018. He has won six top-flight titles with the club and was part of the side that secured a historic sextuple of Bundesliga, DFB Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Supercup and FIFA Club World Cup in 2020.
"There have been several discussions with Leon over the past few days," Bayern's sporting director Christoph Freund said on Friday. "He's very happy at Bayern and will remain here for the rest of the season.
"Everyone knows that his contract expires at the end of the campaign. We've spoken very openly with Leon about what his future will be. In the summer, Leon Goretzka's time at Bayern will come to an end and he will set out on a different path."
