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.
