Milan's pursuit of Leon Goretzka looks set to be a difficult task, as the German midfielder has set his sights on another destination.
According to Calciomercato, the Bayern Munich veteran prefers a move to the Premier League for the next chapter of his career.
Despite the Rossoneri's clear interest and the fact that the club has contacted his circle several times, Goretzka seems increasingly close to ending up in England.
Competition for his firm is strong.
While Arsenal have long been linked with the 31-year-old, Tottenham Hotspur have also joined the race, offering the German two prestigious options in London.
For Milan, the obstacles are not only tactical, but also financial.
The report highlights that major salary issues could hold the club back, as the board is aware of the high financial demands it would take to convince him to leave Bavaria.
While Milan continue to monitor the situation, the combination of the player's preference for English football and the financial weight of the operation make a transfer to San Siro seem unlikely at this stage.
A few days ago, Bayern announced that Goretzka would leave as a free agent at the end of the season, after the conclusion of his contract./Express newspaper/
