Inter Milan Still Interested In Bayern Munich Midfielder Linked With Rivals AC Milan & Napoli | OneFootball

Inter Milan remain in the race for Leon Goretzka despite reports suggesting their interest had cooled, with the Bayern Munich midfielder set to leave as a free agent this summer and the Nerazzurri quietly keeping the door open.

In reality, the trail has not gone cold.

Goretzka simply requires careful and discreet handling given his status as a Bayern player.

The Germany international ticks multiple boxes for Cristian Chivu.

He offers physicality, quality and Champions League pedigree, precisely the box-to-box profile Inter want to add to their midfield this summer.

Inter Milan Face Competition But Refuse To Rule Out Move For Bayern Star Goretzka

His salary represents the main obstacle.

Goretzka currently earns significantly more than Inter’s typical wage structure allows.

The club believe they can negotiate that figure down to an acceptable level for a player of his calibre, and on a free transfer, the financial case becomes easier to justify.

Competition is fierce.

AC Milan and Napoli are also tracking the situation closely, and clubs from the Premier League and elsewhere will enter the picture too.

Inter, however, have no intention of walking away.
