# Goretzka to make decision on his future in January

Liverpool target Leon Goretzka will make a decision on his future in the new year, but the Reds face competition from Arsenal, Bayern and Barcelona for his signature.

[Goal](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-and-arsenal-target-goretzka-sets-deadline-for-future/zmjigzco122v1aznv3dtc3wdb) report that the player will confirm his next move in January as he enters the final months of his contract with [Schalke](https://readbundesliga.com/).

The German international is attracting interest from several teams around Europe after being unable to put pen to paper on a new deal with the [Bundesliga](https://readbundesliga.com/) side.

> There doesn’t exist a deadline, but I think we are in the final phase. The final decision will be made in January.

[Barcelona](https://readlaliga.com/) and Bayern have been heavily linked with a move for the midfielder, while [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/) have also been touted as a possible destination in the past.

The in-demand 22-year-old will be free to discuss contract terms with clubs from January onwards ahead of a summer move.

[Schalke](https://readbundesliga.com/) have been desperate to keep the player, who has scored four times in 11 league appearances this season, at the club, but they now look set to lose their man.
