Inter Milan Continue To Monitor Man Utd & AC Milan Target As Bayern Munich Contract Ticks Down

Inter Milan are keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka as the German approaches the end of his contract at the Allianz Arena.

According to L’Interista, the Nerazzurri are unwilling to rule out a move for the 31-year-old this summer.

Goretzka, who has spent eight years at Bayern, has no intention of renewing his deal and will be available on a free transfer.

Indeed, this is the kind of shrewd signing that has become something of a trademark under the Inter ownership model.

Cristian Chivu has reportedly expressed a desire for physicality and height in midfield.

At 1.91 metres, the Germany international fits that profile perfectly.

Inter Among Clubs Tracking Bayern Star Goretzka But Salary Remains An Obstacle

The stumbling block is likely to be his salary, understood to be in the region of €9 million per year.

While that figure could be matched in the United States or Saudi Arabia, Goretzka has made clear his preference is to remain in Europe, keeping the door open for Inter and their rivals.

Manchester United, AC Milan, Tottenham and Galatasaray are also monitoring the situation.

With Mkhitaryan nearing the end of his contract, Frattesi potentially pushing for an exit, and question marks surrounding Calhanoglu and Diouf, Goretzka would represent a significant addition to Chivu’s midfield options.
