'Bayern have Goretzka deal sewn up' - Schalke need a miracle to keep star, says Thon

The ex-Germany international believes a star of the current national side is set to complete a transfer after seeing a switch mooted for some time

Leon Goretzka already has a move which will take him from Schalke to Bayern Munich “sewn up”, according to Olaf Thon.

The highly-rated midfielder has been heavily linked with a switch to the reigning Bundesliga champions for some time, while the likes of Arsenal, Barcelona and Liverpool have also been reported as admirers

Schalke spotted his potential early when acquiring the 22-year-old from Bochum, but face losing him as a free agent at the end of his contract next summer.
