Leon Goretzka ‘could join’ Juventus despite bonus dispute and Champions League doubt

Leon Goretzka’s move to Juventus remains possible despite a recent hitch in talks.

According to Sport Bild, a switch to Turin would not collapse over excessive demands, and the former Bayern Munich midfielder had recently been on an even higher salary at the Bundesliga club.

He had looked close to joining the Serie A side until financial disagreements over bonuses halted progress.

Whether it happens is said to depend more on Juventus’ squad planning and their interest in former Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessié.

Juventus missing out on the Champions League next season could also weigh on Goretzka’s decision.

If the Champions League is not decisive, a move to Major League Soccer could be considered. Bild reports that Chicago Fire remains a possible destination, where he could follow Bastian Schweinsteiger.
