AC Milan are continuing talks with Leon Goretzka and his entourage, with his initial salary demands having reportedly surfaced.
It was first reported by Gianluca Di Marzio earlier in the week that Goretzka is a target for Milan. His experience, quality and versatility are all factors that are deemed attractive, but above all it is the fact his deal expires in June, so he would be available on a free transfer.

Salary demands surface
Tuttosport (via MilanPress) report that Milan want to close the gap with Napoli and Inter ahead of next season, at least in terms of squad size and depth. For this reason, the main target for the summer of 2026 currently appears to be Goretzka.
The Bayern Munich midfielder has won some 16 trophies in seven and a half years in Bavaria, but at the moment his future at the club is far from certain given that his deal is expiring and his role is decreasing in importance under Vincent Kompany.
According to the newspaper, Igli Tare is working hard to bring the German to Milan in a Luka Modric-style move, but his asking price is currently very high. He’s said to be asking for €7m net per the same amount as Rafael Leao gets and what will by offered to Mike Maignan.
Allegri knows full well that to win, you need to add players like these to your squad, and they obviously need to be paid too.
“For this reason, the main target for the summer of 2026 currently appears to be Goretzka.”
No, it’s Vlahovic. There’s nothing especially good about Goretzka. He’s a good squad player. No more. Stop overhyping him.
100%
Timber and Ferguson would be way better additions
Fergusen is rubbish timber is great player but injury prone anton stach and Ismael saibari or Adrian lahdo will be great
Timber can be solid but Goretzka would serve as an after Modric. But they could sign both
Leon a contract for 6-6.5m would be ok
For Quinten a 4-4.5m should be ok
Or they can just bring Tonali back…
Tonali would cost 60-70m
Goretzka is free
Thanks, Pep, Allegri, Ancellioti, Sacchi, Jose and Capello put in one. You really know the squad more than Allegri does.
6-6.5m contract should be ok
For a bench player past his prime? Are you insane?
Modric Past his prime.
Goretzka has exp that can be like Modric but more offensive
Goretzka seem like he’s been in football forever. He’s “only” 30 years old geez lol 😂
koliko para toliko muzike
We have plenty of 6’s. What we need are better 8’s that can be more effective than RLC and Fofana combined.
He will be a great Last option to close the 6 man midfielders so we can have Rabiot Fofana RLC Ricci Jashari and last addition Goretzka
So Allegri would have solid opinions if someone gets injured
