Leon Goretzka looks set to snub a transfer to Liverpool and push ahead with a move to Bayern Munich instead.
The 22-year-old Schalke 04 midfielder, who will be out of contract in the summer, was wanted by Jürgen Klopp. The Germany international had been mulling over an offer from the Liverpool manager but in all honesty, it never sounded like he was seriously considering a move to Anfield, although we could still be proven wrong as there’s been no official announcement as yet; that is expected imminently.

Schalke have desperately been trying to hold onto him but a switch to Bayern sounds inevitable despite fresh talks within the last few days.
Bayern have continually denied that they already have an agreement in place with Goretzka but the indications now suggest that they may finally have been given the nod by his camp.
Meanwhile, Iñaki Williams, a player that Liverpool have been scouting for some time, has signed a new contract with Athletic Bilbao which will now run until 2025.
