As Turkish sports journalist Haluk Yürekli reports, Gala have been working hard on a Goretzka transfer in recent days. According to Yürekli, an agreement has already been reached between the two clubs. The Munich team was therefore prepared to give the midfielder to the top Turkish club for a year.

Goretzka has no desire for the Süper Lig

What is interesting is that, according to information from Yürekli, Bayern continued to pay 50 percent of Goretzka's annual salary during the loan. Rumours say that the former DFB international earned almost 18 million euros in Munich, making him one of the top earners.

The problem: Goretzka rejected the transfer. The 29-year-old had previously rejected all requests. Even though Goretzka no longer plays a role under new coach Vincent Kompany, he wants to fight his way through at FCB and fight for a place in the team.

Galatasaray wanted to sign Goretzka before September 4th so that they could register the player in time for the Europa League. Even though this plan did not work out, those in charge in Istanbul did not give up, according to Yürekli. The club would like to continue trying its luck to convince Goretzka to move to the Turkish Süper Lig. The transfer window there is still open until September 13th.
