Goretzka on the radar as Inter Milan plot midfield overhaul

The Bayern Munich powerhouse emerges as a prime target for Inter Milan ahead of a pivotal summer rebuild

Inter Milan are already sketching the blueprint for next season, and at the heart of their midfield plans stands Leon Goretzka. 

The Bayern Munich midfielder has become one of the leading candidates to reinforce the Nerazzurri engine room as the club prepares for a decisive transfer window.

Following their Champions League elimination at the hands of Bodo/Glimt, Inter Milan have begun reassessing their squad structure. The objective is clear: inject greater international pedigree and physical authority into the midfield department.

A crucial factor shaping the situation is Bayern’s reported decision not to renew Goretzka’s contract, which expires at the end of the season. 

That development has alerted several European heavyweights. Among them, Arsenal previously attempted to move early during the January window, only to be rebuffed as the German international opted to finish the campaign in Bavaria.

Goretzka’s résumé speaks loudly. Across 295 appearances for Bayern Munich, he has scored 48 goals, blending power with late runs into the box and tactical discipline. According to journalist Christian Falk, Inter Milan are now firmly in the race to secure him on a free transfer, positioning themselves in what is shaping up to be a continental tug of war.

Premier League temptation could tilt the balance

Competition is intensifying. Tottenham Hotspur remain attentive despite uncertainty surrounding the future of João Palhinha after his loan spell. 

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen hover as a domestic alternative, particularly if they clinch direct qualification for next season’s Champions League.

The decisive variable may be European football itself. BothMilan and Arsenal are positioned to offer the grand stage of the Champions League, a factor that carries considerable weight for a player entering a defining chapter of his career.

Still, reports suggest Goretzka is open to experiencing the rhythm and intensity of the Premier League. 

That subtle shift in preference could grant Arsenal a narrow edge. 

For Inter Milan, the mission is clear: act swiftly, present a compelling project, and transform interest into signature before the summer market orchestra reaches its crescendo.
