AC Milan is actively pursuing Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka as a key addition for the upcoming season. Club president Gerry Cardinale is set to finalize the team’s structure starting Monday, with manager Massimiliano Allegri remaining central to the project. Goretzka’s potential arrival would bolster AC Milan’s midfield, pairing him with Luka Modrić and Adrien Rabiot to form an experienced trio with a combined 275 Champions League appearances and an average age of 34.3 years . The club is also exploring attacking reinforcements, including Gonçalo Ramos, Serhou Guirassy, Michael Olise, and Alexander Sørloth, following Rafael Leão’s expected departure .
