According to recent reports, Leon Goretzka has slipped down the pecking order at Bayern Munich, with the Bavarians not planning on giving the midfielder a significant role this coming season.
Nevertheless, Leon Goretzka doesn't want to leave the club, according to Munich tabloid AZ.
Instead, the 29-year-old midfielder wants to stay and fight for his place and fulfill his contract, which runs until 2026.
Despite not playing a minute in Bayern's pre-season friendly against Tottenham last week, Goretzka believes he has a chance of playing regularly, especially once the Champions League kicks off and Bayern have to juggle multiple competitions.
Goretzka missed Bayern's 3-0 friendly win over WSG Tirol on Tuesday due to a minor injury, Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed afterwards.
On Goretzka's future, Freund said:
“We'll see. He is a top professional, he will fight for his place.”
