Manchester United’s hopes of signing Leon Goretzka have been handed a major boost after Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer insisted they won’t pay over the odds to secure his future, according to the Express.
Goretzka joined Bayern from Schalke in 2018 and has developed into one of the best all-round midfielders in German football. The 26-year-old has scored 25 goals and provided a further 27 assists in his 113 appearances to help Munich win a whole host of trophies.
However, his future at the Allianz Arena is in serious doubt as Goretzka is in the final year of his contract and has so far been unable to agree terms over an extension with the German giants.
The situation has alerted a number of top European clubs and in late July The Sun cited a report from the print version of Sports Bild that claimed Manchester United were hoping to lure Goretzka to the Premier League.
The German outlet said United have already offered the midfielder a lucrative contract worth around £200,000-a-week if he agrees to move to Old Trafford on a free transfer next summer.
