Leon Goretzka Reemerges as Key Player for Bayern Munich

Once considered expendable, Goretzka's resilience and performances have reignited his importance for both club and a potential national team recall.

Leon Goretzka has regained his status as a vital player for Bayern Munich after being on the transfer list last summer.
Bayern's sporting director, Christoph Freund, commended Goretzka's perseverance and professionalism, calling him a role model for other players.
Initially deployed as a defender under coach Vincent Kompany, Goretzka has returned to his preferred midfield role, contributing significantly with 29 appearances this season.
Despite his resurgence, Bayern has not guaranteed a long-term future for Goretzka, with his contract running until 2026.
Goretzka's improved form raises questions about a potential recall to the German national team, especially with injuries affecting midfield options ahead of the Nations League quarterfinals against Italy.
