Goretzka announced his departure from Bayern at the end of the season

Just now, Goretzka announced on his social media that he will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season. 

Goretzka's statement(in English):

The last few days have been more turbulent than expected.

At the same time, they have brought clarity:

As much as I am honored by the interest from top international clubs, I have made a clear decision for myself that I want to stay at FC Bayern until the end of the season. With a team that is incredibly fun to be with both on and off the pitch, and a coach who has molded our team back into a real unit! I feel committed to this team and the club. Our common goal is to stand on Marienplatz again in May with our hands full and this time celebrate the big titles together WITH YOU!

At the same time, the club and I have decided in good and constructive discussions that our successful time together will come to an end in the summer. As I said earlier, it is also the right time for me to start a new chapter: as a soccer player and as a person.

But there is still a lot to do before that. Let's give it our all together to ensure that we achieve maximum success this season and at the World Cup with FC Bayern and also with the national team! I'm looking forward to it! Thank you for your support! 2026! 😉

Mia san Mia!
