Juventus look at Goretzka

By Football Italia staff

Juventus have approached Schalke 04 to ask after Germany international Leon Goretzka, according to Italian reports.

Sports reporter Giovanni Albanese, who works for Il Fatto Quotidiano newspaper and Calciomercato.it, claims that important developments are expected over the next few days.

The 22-year-old already has nine senior caps for his country, in which he scored three goals.

His contract is due to expire in June 2018 and this could give Juve the edge in negotiations.

Schalke bought Goretzka from VfL Bochum in 2013 for €3.25m (£2.9m) and the current price-tag is over €25m (£22.3m).

Last season he contributed eight goals and six assists in 41 competitive games for Schalke.

Milan have also been linked with Goretzka, who plays primarily as a central midfielder.
