That&#8217;s no surprise given he&#8217;s still capable of playing at the top level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is, where could Goretzka go? We&#8217;ve taken a look at some possible destinations for the experienced midfielder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Where could Goretzka go this summer?<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-dream-arsenal\" data-level=\"3\">Dream: Arsenal<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-realistic-juventus\" data-level=\"3\">Realistic: Juventus<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-wildcard-man-utd\" data-level=\"3\">Wildcard: Man Utd<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-squawka-suggests-newcastle\" data-level=\"3\">Squawka Suggests: Newcastle<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dream-arsenal\">Dream: Arsenal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arsenal<\/a> might feel a little unrealistic due to the number of midfielders they currently have in their squad. But the Gunners have been linked with signing Goretzka in the summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Arsenal like to dominate possession, they aren\u2019t as heavily focused on it as Bayern Munich. Mikel Arteta\u2019s side focus more on their defensive structure.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='vccm vccm-compare'data-compare=\"HDYcMbzQZCKcX0kiMh8CX\" data-show-sponsor=\"false\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goretzka would offer Arsenal something slightly different to what they have in midfield. The German midfielder is very comfortable in possession and likes to drive with the ball from deep, in a similar way to Declan Rice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goretzka isn\u2019t your pivot like Martin Zubimendi. Nor is he a true box-crasher like Mikel Merino. Instead, he\u2019s a mix of everything and is strong in a duel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Arsenal are looking to develop their style of play after potentially winning the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premier League<\/a>, adding someone who is so used to being in a hugely dominant side could be beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-realistic-juventus\">Realistic: Juventus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goretzka perhaps can\u2019t get around the pitch as he used to. And he\u2019s not been truly tested defensively in the league, considering how dominant Bayern Munich are almost every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pace of Serie A could be exactly what he needs in the final years of his career. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/juventus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Juventus<\/a> have struggled to keep up with the likes of Inter and Napoli in recent years, so a player of Goretzka\u2019s calibre could be exactly what they need.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serie A clubs certainly aren\u2019t afraid to sign ageing players if they can still offer something. With Goretzka having bundles of experience at the top level, including in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/champions-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Champions League<\/a>, he would undoubtedly be a smart addition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 31-year-old might not be able to get another long-term deal with a club at the level of Bayern, so Juventus could be a realistic pick.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"article-page__title\">Dabble sign-up offer: <b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Bet \u00a310+ &amp; Receive \u00a310 In Free Bets<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>Not signed up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/dabble-sign-up-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dabble<\/a> yet?

But Goretzka could be the cheap, experienced option alongside one of the aforementioned trio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-squawka-suggests-newcastle\">Squawka Suggests: Newcastle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ideal move for Goretzka this summer might be to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Newcastle United<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a chance that the Magpies will lose one of Bruno Guimaraes or Sandro Tonali in the summer. Both players have been linked with a move away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newcastle have struggled when having to play in Europe, due to the demands of two games a week. But that\u2019s something Goretzka has been used to for his whole career.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='vccm vccm-compare'data-compare=\"AMOo8PONNWtwkzJ1jkHEe\" data-show-sponsor=\"false\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goretzka\u2019s passing combined with his duel-winning ability means he not only suits Eddie Howe\u2019s aggressive style of play, but he can also add a little more control amid the chaos in midfield.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newcastle are often careful with how much they spend due to financial regulations. So acquiring a player of Goretzka\u2019s ability on a free transfer could be a smart move.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It looks set to be a competitive race for the signature of Goretzka this summer, and if he does leave Bayern on a free, a host of clubs will be battling to secure him.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leon Goretzka looks set to be heading through the exit door at Bayern Munich in the summer.
