*Bayern
confirm interest in Schalke star Goretzka*
Bayern
Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has confirmed the club are keen to
sign Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka.
The
Germany international is out of contract at the end of the season and has
attracted significant interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs in recent
weeks.
Barcelona,
Juventus and Bayern are said to be the front-runners, with the Bundesliga
champions firmly throwing their hat into the ring with Salihamidzic's latest
comments.
Speaking
to reporters at Bayern's training camp in Doha, Salihamidzic said: "Leon
Goretzka is a great player, that's clear.
"But
he is a Schalke player and we obviously respect that. But he is a Germany
international and we can say that we are interested in him."
Salihamidzic's
revelations come a day after Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes praised the
22-year-old, but suggested Barcelona are still interested.
