Man Utd plotting shock January swoop for Bayern star?
Manchester United could make a surprise swoop for Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka when the transfer window reopens in January, according to The Sun.
Goretzka has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Joao Palhinha at Bayern. He has been left out of matchday squads by manager Vincent Kompany.
The German star is growingly frustrated by his situation and it is claimed that United could capitalise on the same with a loan approach at the turn of the year.
United are open to offers for Casemiro in the next transfer window. There is interest from the Saudi Pro League and he could leave for a fee of around €20 million.
This could urge the Red Devils to pursue a loan deal for Goretzka with an option to buy. The move will most likely depend on the midfielder accepting a salary cut.
Goretzka earns around €345,000 per week at the Munich giants. United could be reluctant to pay him more than €250,000 per week for a permanent move next summer.
