Leon Goretzka, the 31-year-old German international midfielder, is set to sign for Aston Villa as a free agent after leaving Bayern Munich. His arrival is meant to compensate for the departures of Youri Tielemans, sold for £35 million to Manchester United, and Amadou Onana’s ACL injury, both starters in Villa’s midfield. The proposed salary is around 7 million euros net per year, plus a potential signing bonus of up to 10 million euros. Goretzka recorded 312 matches, 51 goals and 53 assists in eight seasons with the Bavarian club, along with 73 caps for Germany. He still needs to pass a medical examination before the transfer is finalized.
