Leon Goretzka has reportedly offered his services to Barcelona after becoming a free agent following his contract expiration at Bayern Munich. His representatives have contacted Barcelona’s sporting department amid concerns over Frenkie de Jong’s long-term knee injury. While Goretzka previously played under Barcelona's manager Hansi Flick at Bayern, the club is not currently pursuing any midfield reinforcements, believing their squad depth can handle De Jong's absence. Barcelona aims to assist academy graduate Marc Casado in finding a new team rather than making a move for Goretzka.
