Inter Milan ‘Tempted’ To Join Manchester United & Rivals AC Milan In Race For Bayern Munich Midfielder

Cristian Chivu is understood to want greater physical presence and athleticism in midfield.

And Goretzka’s height, power and experience at the highest level would address those needs.

The Germany international has been with Bayern since 2018 and brings extensive Champions League pedigree alongside nearly 70 caps for his country.

His combination of technical quality and physical strength could complement Inter’s existing midfield options.

Any deal, however, would hinge on salary expectations. Goretzka currently earns around €9 million per season, a figure far beyond Inter’s structure.

However, With no transfer fee required, negotiations would centre on wages and project suitability.

Inter’s interest remains exploratory, but the opportunity to add proven experience on a free transfer makes the situation one to watch closely as summer planning intensifies.
