Aston Villa are seeking to bolster their squad with immediate quality, setting sights on a former Bayern Munich midfielder.
Leon Goretzka has recently departed Bayern Munich after a successful stint, making him a prime target for Villa as they aim to secure his signature on a free transfer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Goretzka has spoken with Unai Emery within the past 24 hours, marking a pivotal development in the potential move. Negotiations are advancing, though the German international must still choose whether Villa offers the right fit.
Villa can present Champions League participation and an upward‑trajectory project. Convincing him of further reinforcements will be easier if his arrival proceeds, as additional signings could follow.
Emery will need to roll out the red carpet and hope for the best.
