Is the Alaba case repeating itself?
According to a media report, Real Madrid is planning a transfer offensive and also wants to sign Leon Goretzka from Bayern.
Munich - With David Alaba, FC Bayern Munich not only lost a role model of the fans in the current transfer period, but also an absolute top performer on the defensive - and that for free.
In addition to the Austrian, Jérôme Boateng and Javi Martinez also left the German record champions after their contracts had expired without a transfer fee.
A scenario that could threaten FC Bayern with another top performer in the coming season.
FC Bayern: Real Madrid are planning a transfer offensive and want Goretzka
As reported by the Spanish sports newspaper
AS
, Real Madrid is planning a transfer offensive for the coming season in which Los Blancos want to secure several players whose contracts expire at the end of the current season.
A strategy that Paris Saint-Germain has also used in the current transfer phase.
With Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Lionel Messi, the Parisians secured four absolute top players without paying a euro in transfer fee.
Bayern: is the next top exit threatened?
Goretzka in the focus of Real Madrid
According to the report, Los Blancos are considering signing Leon Goretzka for the coming season, whose contract with Bayern is dated to summer 2022. The international should bring a breath of fresh air to the Madridistas' midfield headquarters and succeed Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. The 35-year-old Modric's contract expires at the end of the season. Ex-Bayer Kroos (31) has a working paper that is valid until summer 2023.
At FC Bayern, extending the 26-year-old's contract - alongside that of his congenial midfield partner Joshua Kimmich - should have top priority.
In the past few weeks, however, negotiations are said to have stalled * after the Goretzka side rejected an initial offer.
If Bayern cannot reach an agreement with Goretzka, a scenario like that of David Alaba could repeat itself.
Real Madrid before transfer offensive: Goretzka, Pogba and Mbappe on the slip
In addition to the German national player, Real Madrid should also have Paul Pogba from Manchester United, PSG storm jewel Kylian Mbappé, as well as Goretzka's DFB colleague Antonio Rüdiger and the French super talent Eduardo Camavinga on the list. Their current contracts also expire in summer 2022. Even if a commitment of all players does not seem realistic, Los Blancos could still cause a stir in the coming transfer period if they manage to get two or three of the big names to the Spanish capital for free.
