The last hours of the winter transfer window were more than rhythmic. Indeed, in Europe, many transactions did not take long to be carried out. However, others have failed. This is particularly the case for Arsenal (1st in the Premier League) who would have attempted a final offensive to secure the services of Leon Goretzka (31) in the final hours of the winter window. As a reminder, his club, Bayern Munich (Bundesliga leader) announced last week that the German midfielder would leave the club at the end of the season at the end of his contract. Arriving from Schalke in 2018, Goretzka established himself as a pillar in the Munich midfield, but that was not the case this season under the orders of Vincent Kompany (39 years old).
According to information from BILDMikel Arteta (43 years old) wanted to strengthen his midfield with an experienced player. Arsenal would have sent a last minute offer, ultimately rejected by management. The source also indicates that the 2020 Champions League winner has chosen to stay in Munich until this summer, in order to finish the season and take time to think about his future before the World Cup in America. Despite his physical strength and his good state of mind, he will not see the Premier League from now on. The German international does not close the door to a departure for England and is patient in the Bundesliga.
