# Liverpool: Fans react to Leon Goretzka’s revelation

**Many Liverpool fans have been talking about the latest news involving Leon Goretzka that recently emerged on social media.**

The Athletic’s Liverpool-oriented journalist James Pearce [recently relayed an article](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1338774087905271808) about Goretzka. The article, which was [written by](https://theathletic.co.uk/2257523/2020/12/13/leon-goretzka-bayern-munich/)[Raphael Honigstein,](https://theathletic.co.uk/2257523/2020/12/13/leon-goretzka-bayern-munich/) talked about the Bayern Munich midfielder’s life and career and it included some quotes from the German about Liverpool.

He revealed that Liverpool were interested in signing him when he was leaving Schalke on a free transfer. The German also shared that he and his compatriots were ‘proud’ to see Jurgen Klopp lift the Premier League. He hailed Liverpool to be a ‘great club’ and he believes that their development under Klopp has been ‘amazing’ ([as per the Athletic](https://theathletic.co.uk/2257523/2020/12/13/leon-goretzka-bayern-munich/)).

Goretzka [said that](https://theathletic.co.uk/2257523/2020/12/13/leon-goretzka-bayern-munich/) he ended up joining Bayern as he thought that the Bavarian club was the ‘right move’ for him.
