Leon Goretzka (born 6 February 1995, age 31) is a German central midfielder whose career is now shaped overwhelmingly by Bayern Munich. Across eight league seasons with Bayern, he has made 211 appearances and scored 40 goals – a sizeable attacking return for a player operating from midfield.
His most productive league campaign came in 2018-19, when he scored eight times in 30 appearances. That scoring edge has been one of the more obvious features of his Bayern years: not a luxury midfielder, but one who has consistently added goals from areas where many players are content simply to keep the ball moving.
His market value is around £18.5m, according to Transfermarkt. The outline of his career is clear enough: a long Bayern spell, regular league involvement, and a better goal return than is usual for a midfielder of his type.
