Arsenal are planning further talks to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka in the summer transfer window, according to reports in Germany.

Goretzka will be a free agent this summer after Bayern Munich announced last month that the 31-year-old will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

The Germany international turned down an approach from Atletico Madrid in the January transfer window, while Arsenal also made a late enquiry.

However, Goretzka wanted to remain at Bayern for the remainder of the campaign as Vincent Kompany’s side are still in contention to win the Bundesliga, the Champions League and the DFB Pokal.

According to BILD’s Christian Falk, Arsenal have retained their interest in Goretzka and will hold further talks over a summer move.

‘It is true: Arsenal are considering bringing Leon Goretzka to London this coming summer,’ Falk said via Bayern Insider.
