After eight full years with Bayern Munich, having won everything—including one Champions League title and seven German championships— Leon Goretzka left the Bavarians as a free agent and is now seeking a new challenge in his soccer career.
This opportunity does not seem to be going unnoticed by Aston Villa, which is on the hunt for another midfielder. Unai Emery’s team is in open talks with the 31-year-old German, seriously considering the possibility of bringing him to the Premier League.
Last season, Goretzka made a total of 48 appearances, scoring five goals and providing five assists, proving once again to be a reliable option for Bayern Munich.
