Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund (48) announced on Friday that Leon Goretzka (30) will remain with the Bayern until the end of the season despite intensive negotiations about a possible winter move to Atlético Madrid and will then leave the club on a free transfer after his contract expires in the summer.
The Austrian said the day before Bayern Munich's Bundesliga match against Hamburger SV: "Leon has decided to stay with FC Bayern Munich."
And further: "We can now also say that Leon Goretzka's time at FC Bayern Munich will be over in the summer. He will go another way after 8 successful years. We'll fight together in coming months to achieve big things."
