The Italian club AC Milan continues to make strong moves in the transfer market, having made significant progress in its negotiations to sign the German midfielder Leon Goretzka, the Bayern Munich star, in the upcoming period.

According to Italy's "Sky Sports" network, AC Milan representatives have entered advanced stages of negotiations with Leon Goretzka's agents, as the club seeks to finalize the deal for free with the player's contract nearing its end next June.

The discussions between the two parties focused on the details of the proposed contract, as well as the role the player will play within the team, as Milan is working to accelerate the pace of negotiations to finalize the agreement as soon as possible.

Despite interest from several European clubs, including Juventus and Napoli, the 31-year-old German midfielder is open to the idea of joining the Rossoneri to embark on a new experience under the guidance of coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Previous reports indicated that Milan's offer of a three-year contract might give them an advantage in the race to sign Goretzka, especially since some other clubs prefer to offer shorter contracts lasting only two years.

Goretzka played 41 matches with Bayern Munich across various competitions this season, during which he scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists.
