Leon Goretzka says Bayern exit is an option amid Atletico Madrid interest | OneFootball

"That is an option, of course." "I find it exciting to go abroad at some point in my career." He told Die Zeit.

The Bayern Munich midfielder has six months left on his contract, and a move could come before the winter window closes or in the summer.

Sky Germany reports that Atlético Madrid have targeted him this month, viewing him as a potential replacement for Conor Gallagher, who has moved to Tottenham.

"But I consciously decided against it. I know that in Munich I’m in a comfort zone."

"Taking a step out would also be a step for my personal development. Getting to know something new would enrich my life as well."

"I want to play for a club with ambitions, that has a plan in which my qualities are needed. Above all, I want to inspire my teammates and take a team to another level."
