Goretzka Breaks Silence: Barcelona Move Talk Was Overblown

Goretzka's Barcelona Move Rumors Debunked

German international Leon Goretzka, Bayern Munich's midfield star, addressed rumors about his contact with Hans Flick, Barcelona's coach, regarding a move to the Catalan club.

Goretzka's contract with Bayern runs through next summer, and no agreement on renewal has been reached yet.

There were strong reports that Goretzka contacted Flick and offered his services to Barcelona starting next season.

Goretzka said, in statements published by Barcelona Universal: I read what is being said about my contact with Flick in Barcelona; that did not happen exactly.

It should be noted that Goretzka played under Flick at Bayern Munich and helped the team to achieve the historic sextuple.

Bottom line: Rumors aside, football keeps delivering headlines. If you blink, you might miss the twist. Punchline: If rumors were goals, Barcelona would top the table; alas, they're just headlines. Punchline 2: Goretzka’s future? Bayern now, Barcelona later, with fans refreshing like it’s a live transfer window festival.
