Leon Goretzka’s agent in talks with Tottenham over January move
According to respected Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Leon Goretzka’s agent is already in contact with Tottenham regarding a possible surprise change during the winter window.
While discussing Fenerbahce’s interest in a central midfielder, Sabuncuoğlu revealed that Goretzka fits the profile targeted by several clubs and confirmed Tottenham’s involvement in early discussions.
Speaking about Fenerbahce’s interest in the midfielder, he said: “Domenico Tedesco doesn’t want a quiet number 8. He’s looking for a strong, powerful, dominant, high-profile name who he can hand the starting shirt to.
“The candidates are clear, but there is no definitive situation with a name. In terms of playing style, we are looking for a player in the mold of Goretzka.
“Goretzka’s agent is in talks with Tottenham, if Bayern let him leave.”
The report suggests that any decision would heavily depend on whether Bayern Munich would allow a departure, but Spurs appear to be monitoring the situation closely.

The Germany international made nearly 290 appearances for Bayern, scoring 46 goals and providing 48 assists, while playing a key role in one of the most dominant eras in the club’s history.
