Reports from CalcioMercato indicate that Leon Goretzka may be approaching a decisive moment in his career. The German midfielder, born in 1995, will see his contract with Bayern Munich expire at the end of the season.
His agents understand that Bayern do not intend to discuss a renewal. They have therefore begun exploring new opportunities for their client. One of the potential paths includes a move to Serie A, where Juventus were recently contacted about a possible free-transfer deal.

Goretzka’s representatives are working proactively. They want to secure a strong project for the player before the summer window opens. They also believe that Goretzka can still offer top-level performances in a competitive league.
Their strategy includes proposing him to major European clubs, and Juventus appeared to be one of the first options presented. However, the initial response from Turin has not been encouraging.
Juventus Remain Unconvinced by the Proposal
Juventus are evaluating their long-term plan with strict financial discipline. The club does not want to commit significant resources to a player who will soon turn 30. They also consider the wage requests too high for their current strategy.
The Bianconeri plan to lower the squad age while keeping the payroll under strict control. These factors push the club to decline offers that do not fit their project. Goretzka, despite his experience, falls into this category.
His profile does not fully match the technical or economic requirements of Juventus. The club wants younger midfielders who can grow within the group.

They also aim to avoid heavy salaries that could limit future moves. Because of this, Goretzka’s entourage will need to look elsewhere for a more suitable destination.
The player was also offered to Inter. Their management is conducting internal assessments that mirror those of Juventus. Inter admire Goretzka’s qualities, yet they too want to maintain a sustainable approach.
They prefer to invest in younger options with greater long-term potential. As a result, the German midfielder’s path to Italy appears uncertain.
Goretzka now faces an important summer. His agents will continue searching for a club that values his experience and leadership. For now, both Juventus and Inter seem prepared to move in different directions, according to CalcioMercato.
