German international Leon Goretzka's contract with Bayern Munich expired on June 30. According to Matteo Moretto, Goretzka is now in negotiations with Aston Villa. The Premier League club hopes to make significant progress in the talks this weekend. This development follows previous unsuccessful interest in the 31-year-old midfielder from several clubs, including FC Barcelona, FC Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus Turin, and SSC Napoli. Before the Aston Villa talks emerged, transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio had suggested that a move to Turkey for the player would not be surprising to him. Goretzka has 73 caps and 15 goals for Germany, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €12.00m.
