As quoted by Sport, Schalke’s sporting director, Christian Heidel, reveals the club have done everything possible to try and keep him and can’t do anything else as he looks set to complete a free transfer move next summer. You can bet on signs Goretzka at online-sportwette.net.
We are trying to convince him, also financially. We are trying to look for the best way to convince him to stay, but without putting pressure on him.
Liverpool themselves face a similar situation with Emre Can who is also set to become a free agent next summer. With no new contract on the horizon, it’s feasible that the Reds could move for Goretzka as a replacement for Can.
