Bayern Munich have agreed to buy Leon Goretzka from Schalke.
Goretzka is a 22-year-old German midfielder and will join Bayern on July 1st.
The Schalke coach, Domenico Tedesco, said that the team were “sad and disappointed to be losing Leon, both as a player and as a person”.
Schalke are third in the Bundesliga table, 14 points behind leaders Bayern, before Sunday’s meeting with Hannover.
The arrival of Goretzka figures to increase speculation on a sale of Arturo Vidal.
