Ex-Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka looked set to join Juventus recently until financial disagreements prevented a deal.
However, Sport BILD's head of football, Christian Falk, has contradicted these speculations in the Bayern Insider podcast.
"I heard that very clearly from him," Falk explained, clarifying that a potential move to Turin would not fail due to excessive demands.
Furthermore, the transfer expert pointed out that Goretzka had recently been earning an even higher annual salary at Bayern Munich.
Whether a move to Italy comes about depends more on Juventus' squad planning and their interest in ex-Barcelona man Franck Kessié.
However, Juventus missing out on the Champions League next season could certainly play a role in Goretzka's decision too.
If, in the event the Champions League is not a deciding factor for the midfielder, a move to Major League Soccer could be on the cards.
BILD reports that Chicago Fire remains a possible option, where Goretzka could follow in the footsteps of Bastian Schweinsteiger.
