AC Milan is awaiting the response of Bayern Munich's midfielder Leon Goretzka to the offer made for signing him during the upcoming transfer window, according to the Italian newspaper 'Corriere dello Sport.'

Milan faces strong competition for the player, with several Italian clubs entering the negotiation line, most notably Juventus and Napoli, who are closely monitoring the player's situation during the current period.

According to the newspaper, Milan has made an offer to the German player that includes a 3-year contract with an annual salary of up to 5 million euros, as part of its efforts to secure the deal in its favor.

The Italian club continues its efforts through continuous communication with the player's agents, in an attempt to expedite his decision regarding his future, with the final position expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Qualification for the Champions League is considered an important factor in Milan's attempts to convince Goretzka to join its ranks, especially given his desire to embark on a new experience within the Italian league.

Previous reports also indicated that Milan's offer of a three-year contract might give it an advantage in the signing race, compared to some other clubs that prefer shorter contracts for two seasons.

Goretzka has participated in 40 matches with Bayern Munich this season across various competitions, during which he scored 3 goals and assisted the same number.
