AC Milan have stepped up their activity in the transfer market and are now pushing decisively for Leon Goretzka.
The German midfielder, whose contract with Bayern Munich is approaching its final phase, has emerged as a primary target for the Rossoneri as they aim to strengthen their midfield ahead of next season.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants are already moving with intent to secure the player’s signature.
Milan Make Their Move
Milan have reportedly placed a strong offer on the table: a three-year contract worth around €5 million per season, with the possibility of an additional year as an option.
Talks with Goretzka’s representatives are already underway, and at this stage, Milan appear to be leading the race.
The club’s management sees the 31-year-old as an experienced and physically dominant presence capable of adding balance, leadership, and tactical intelligence to the squad.
Goretzka is expected to carefully consider his future over the coming weeks, taking into account both club ambitions and personal priorities before making a final decision.

With international fixtures also on the horizon, the timing of his choice could prove crucial. While Europe remains his likely destination, there is also reported interest from clubs in Major League Soccer, offering an alternative path late in his career.
Juventus Lurking, Silva Still a Priority
Milan’s advantage, however, may not go unchallenged. Juventus are closely monitoring the situation and could still enter the race.
The Bianconeri are believed to be considering a more lucrative offer, potentially rising to €6 million per season, although they have yet to make a decisive move.
At the same time, Juventus remain focused on another high-profile target: Bernardo Silva, who could depart Manchester City.
From a tactical perspective, the two players are not direct alternatives, but financial constraints may force the club to prioritize one over the other.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Goretzka’s situation is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing midfield sagas in European football, with Milan currently holding the upper hand—but with competition ready to intensify.
