According to The Sun, Manchester United and West Ham United are interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka.

The German midfielder is upset at the Allianz Arena because of his lack of playing time at the club.

The German giants have preferred Aleksandar Pavlovic as their main midfielder in that position and the signing of Joao Palhinha has pushed him further down the pecking order at the club.

As per the report, both Man United and West Ham, as well as other clubs, could make a move for the midfielder if they find out that he is certain to leave Bayern Munich.

The player’s contract at the club will expire in 2026, which makes it highly likely that the club will cash in on him next year.

The 29-year-old Goretzka has played just five minutes of football this season and Bayern have performed well in his absence.

They have won all the matches this season under the leadership of new manager Vincent Kompany.

The club’s sporting director Max Eberl is surprised with Goretzka’s dissapointment as he has revealed that the player was made aware of the pecking order at the club in the pre-season.

“We communicated very clearly from the start,” Eberl told Sky Germany.
