He wants to play for Arsenal. Of course, there is no guarantee that Arsenal will come back in the summer with a concrete offer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I heard he loves the Premier League and his style of play suits English football. But he is not focused on just one club this summer. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Arsenal are there, he would be happy to sit down at the table and listen to offers. Tottenham are also interested and that could be an option, but Spurs are not as attractive an option as Arsenal at the moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goretzka quickly became one of Bayern&#8217;s most important players after joining from Schalke in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>He has made around 300 appearances for the German club, scoring 48 goals and providing 49 assists. During his time with Munich, he won six Bundesliga titles and also won the UEFA Champions League in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Goretzka also played in 67 games for Germany, scoring 15 goals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col text-left focus:outline-none gap-tk-fx-between-elements-md\" data-testid=\"body-thumbnail\">\n<div class=\"group relative w-full\" aria-label=\"Play video\" aria-pressed=\"false\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div data-testid=\"body-thumbnail-picture\" class=\"wrapper-16-9 rounded-tk-radius-rs-sm relative\">\n<figure class=\"card-hover-zoom absolute h-full w-full\">\n<div class=\"h-full w-full object-cover\" data-testid=\"blurry-image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"text-transparent h-full w-full object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/imgresizer.tntsports.io\/unsafe\/1200x0\/filters:format(png)\/origin-imgresizer.tntsports.io\/2026\/02\/26\/image-64adb393-1ffd-431d-ab63-aeeb16af384c-85-2560-1440.png\" alt=\"photograph\" data-testid=\"image-high-res\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body-thumbnail-caption text-content-block-default-text-fill-03\" data-testid=\"body-thumbnail-caption\">\n<p class=\"typo-tk-rs-caption-xs\">WATCH: Why have Arsenal done so well in this season&#8217;s Champions League?<\/p>\n<p class=\"typo-tk-rs-caption-xs\">Video credit: TNT Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"typo-tk-rs-title-lg text-content-block-default-text-fill-01\" data-testid=\"body-subtitle\">Libramento &#8216;pinned&#8217; to join Manchester City<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wrap-anywhere typo-tk-rs-body-md text-content-block-default-text-fill-01\" data-testid=\"body-paragraph\">According to Football Insider, Tino Libramento is &#8220;set&#8221; to join Manchester City from Newcastle United in the summer.<\/div>\n<p>Former Everton and Aston Villa chief executive Keith Wyness told Football Insider that City are likely to fill the spot vacated by Kyle Walker with the 23-year-old for a fee of around \u00a370m.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As far as I&#8217;m concerned, I think that&#8217;s about right,&#8221; Wyness said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I spoke to my agents and they said it was going to happen.
