Breaking: Leon Goretzka announces decision to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season

It’s been no surprise lately that Leon Goretzka’s time at Bayern Munich will come to an end soon. Over the past few days, things seemed to gear up for his departure before the end of the winter window. However, Goretzka has put the rumours to bed, confirming that he will stay at the club until the end of the season before leaving in the summer.

Goretzka’s statement on Instagram, confirming his decision:

Dear fans, the last few days have been more turbulent than expected. At the same time, they’ve brought clarity: As much as I’m honored by the interest from top international clubs, I’ve made a clear decision that I want to stay with FC Bayern until the end of the season. With a team that’s incredibly fun to be around, both on and off the pitch, and a coach who has molded our squad back into a true unit. I feel a deep commitment to this team and the club. Our shared goal is to be back at Marienplatz in May, celebrating the biggest titles together with YOU!

At the same time, the club and I have decided, after good and constructive discussions, that our successful time together will come to an end this summer. As I’ve said before, it’s also the right time for me to start a new chapter: as a footballer and as a person. But there’s still a lot to do before then. Let’s all give it our all to achieve maximum success this season and at the World Cup with FC Bayern and the national team! I’m looking forward to it! Thank you for your support! 2026! Mia san Mia!
