Bayern Munich will sign Leon Goretkza at the end of the season, Schalke 04 have confirmed. The Germany International had been linked with moves to Italy and England but Barcelona and Real Madrid were also reported to be interested in signing the talented Germany International.

Calciomercato.com exclusively revealed at the beginning of January that Goretzka would have joined Bayern Munich as a free agent at the end of the season and Schalke’s director of sport Christian Heidel has confirmed that the player has chosen to join the Bavarians at the end of the season.

“Leon has told us this week that he wants to leave the club to join Bayern Munich”, Heidel said.
