Milan Keep Pursuing Bayern Munich and Barcelona Aces

Milan Keep Pursuing Bayern Munich and Barcelona Aces Milan have prepared their offer for Leon Goretzka, who might decide on his future sooner than anticipated, and they’ll be in the running for Robert Lewandowski if his demands are somewhat reasonable. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , the Rossoneri are willing to tender a three-year contract with €5M wages to the German midfielder. The Bayern Munich star might pick his next team before the end of the season or the start of the World Cup.

The San Siro-based outfit is moving more quickly than other sides . On the other hand, Goretzka has been earning €9M annually in Bavaria and could easily attract richer offers than the Milan one, and the salary is also a problem in the Lewandowski pursuit. The Polish marksman would like to join another storied team if he left Barcelona, which are still on the fence about re-upping his expiring deal.

His representatives have tested the waters with the Rossoneri and a few other top clubs. However, his current wages amount to €15M, well above what any Serie A club can afford. Their highest-paid players, Rafael Leao and Mike Maignan, make about €7M thanks to the bonuses.

The marksman would have to agree to a sizeable pay cut if he really wanted to move to the Peninsula . Our Take on Milan, Goretzka, and Lewandowski The fact that they are after some veterans is a pretty clear sign that they expect Massimiliano Allegri to stay despite the links to Italy and some friction . They were lucky in that regard last year, as Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot didn’t ask for the moon, and they ended up being their best signings.

Perhaps they’ll pull will be strong again, but those instances are rare.
