Leon Goretzka had been initially sidelined at FC Bayern München over the summer and was ignored by coach Vincent Kompany for the first team. Despite his contract running until 2026, he is not considered to have a future at the club. A winter departure was under discussion, with 'Sport Bild' reporting that Goretzka had been granted permission for a January transfer. However, 'Sky' later indicated that a transfer in the winter was not an option, and Goretzka would remain at least until the summer. Tottenham Hotspur has shown interest in signing Goretzka, but they will have to wait until at least the summer.

Leon Goretzka has been advised to consider a move to Tottenham Hotspur amid Manchester United's interest. He has had a frustrating start to the season under Bayern Munich's new manager Vincent Kompany and could secure a transfer in summer 2025 by refusing to sign a new contract.

Germany football legend Lothar Matthaus has suggested that Leon Goretzka should contemplate a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, as Manchester United also shows interest in him. Facing strong competition for a starting position at Bayern Munich, Goretzka is evaluating his future options. With his contract set to expire in June 2026, there is a possibility that he may decline to sign a new deal, aiming for a transfer in the summer of 2025. While Tottenham has been named as a potential destination, it remains uncertain whether they will initiate negotiations.

The director suggested Goretzka should leave due to strong competition. Several clubs are interested.
