‘I will join Man utd on one condition’ – ‘Big chance’ £25m-rated ‘top’ Bayern player signs for Man United this January if one thing happens

‘I will join Man utd on one condition’ – ‘Big chance’ £25m-rated ‘top’ Bayern player signs for Man United this January if one thing happens

Based on Christian Falk’s most recent assessment, Manchester United might not have had enough Bayern Munich players available.

Leon Goretzka, the star of Bayern Munich, is reportedly dedicated to reviving his career in Munich.

But it’s possible that circumstances will work against him and force him to leave the team during the January transfer window.

The 29-year-old has already piqued the curiosity of the Red Devils. Furthermore, if they wanted to try and test Max Eberl’s determination, it’s known that “there’s a big chance” they may finish a deal for the German international in the winter.

“Leon Goretzka changed his mind; he wanted to be in the squad. Bayern Munich wanted to sell Goretzka and he said ‘no’,” the Bundesliga-based journalist informed The Daily Briefing.

“I know about talks with Max Eberl where he said he’s had a look at his situation and perhaps he’ll change his mind again in the winter window.

The situation for him isn’t very good; the 29-year-old has only played a minute of Bundesliga action this season.

Vincent Kompany took him out of the squad domestically, though he did score in a brief cameo in the Champions League, so he did show everyone that he hasn’t lost his quality.”

Falk went on to add: “Manchester United were previously interested in his services and they’ve seen that they can make good deals with Bayern Munich having landed both Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui in the summer.

They also have Joshua Zirkzee who was a quasi-Bayern player in the sense that United paid a fee to them for his transfer.

“I think they know that Bayern Munich players have quality and he would be a good fit, plus they were interested previously.

“I am sure if they need someone in midfield in the winter window, and were to knock on Bayern’s door, there’s a big chance.”

Fabrizio Romano (via The Manchester Evening News) previously reported on Bayern bluntly informing the Bochum-born star that he would not have a starting berth under Vincent Kompany.

The Red Devils are understood to be long-term admirers of Goretzka who was described as a ‘top player’ by Munich chief Christoph Freund last year (Kicker). However, it remains to be seen whether signing a 29-year-old midfielder would represent ideal strategy.

Admittedly, it’s worth highlighting the benefits the footballer would be able to bring in terms of his positional versatility in the middle of the park.

Given that United seem, perhaps, slightly light in that department, you could forgive Dan Ashworth for potentially feeling tempted to re-open his line to the Bavarian giants.

With a contract set to expire in the summer of 2026 – not to mention Bayern’s clear willingness to part ways – it most likely wouldn’t be overly complicated, or expensive, to strike a deal in January
