Leon Goretzka Explains Liverpool Snub

Leon Goretzka

Bayern Munich star Leon Goretzka has explained his decision to snub Liverpool ahead of his move to the Bavarians.

The midfielder was linked with a transfer to the Reds back in 2018, but instead decided to remain in the Bundesliga, signing for Bayern from Schalke.

Speaking to The Athletic recently, Goretzka admitted he had considered a move to Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp having been an admirer of the box-to-box player.

"We're all a little proud of him winning the title. But I took a long time making my decision, and I was 100% sure that Bayern was the right move for me."

The 25-year-old was a crucial part of Bayern's dominant side last season, during which they stormed to a treble, winning the Bundesliga, DFB Cup and the UEFA Champions League titles.
