“Bayern Munich wanted to sell Goretzka, but he said ‘no,’” Falk revealed. However, with the current situation at the club, it seems the midfielder’s resolve may be tested.
“I know about talks with Max Eberl regarding his situation, and perhaps he’ll change his mind again in the winter window,” Falk added. The implication is clear: Goretzka's days at Bayern could be numbered if his situation does not improve.

The potential for a transfer is bolstered by Goretzka’s contract, which runs until the summer of 2026. This could make negotiations simpler and possibly less costly for United, who may be looking to bolster their midfield options.
With Goretzka’s experience and versatility in the midfield, he could provide the depth and quality United needs, especially given their current squad limitations in the midfield department.

Is it the right time for Mikel Arteta to unleash Raheem Sterling?
During his time at Chelsea, Raheem Sterling scored against Manchester City on three different occasions and as Arsenal play Pep Guardiola's men, it could be the time to unleash him.
While some may question the logic of signing a 29-year-old, United could see Goretzka as a strategic addition to their lineup.
His positional versatility makes him a valuable asset, particularly in a squad that appears slightly light in the center of the park. Falk summarized the situation by saying, “If they need someone in midfield in the winter window and were to knock on Bayern’s door, there’s a big chance.”
