A report published by the Spanish newspaper 'AS' revealed that the German midfielder Leon Goretzka, from Bayern Munich, has become one of Atletico Madrid's interests in preparation for the next season, as his contract with the Bavarian club is nearing its end at the conclusion of this season.

The newspaper explained that Goretzka is well aware that Atletico Madrid is monitoring his future and options, and that he is a serious option among the possible transfers, despite the existence of other options on the table.

The report pointed out that the player has time to make his decision, but he knows that Atletico Madrid values his abilities, as the team, led by Diego Simeone, is capable of competing with Barcelona and Real Madrid for the Spanish league title, and regularly participates in the Champions League, which is an attractive factor for any top-class player.

The newspaper confirmed that Atletico Madrid is currently focusing on the upcoming matches, such as the game against Girona, before moving to the winter transfer market, while following up on players like Raspadori and Galán.
