Leon Goretzka Believes He Made the 'Best Choice' Joining Bayern Despite Barcelona Interest

Leon Goretzka confirmed that he rejected an approach from Barcelona to join Bayern Munich as he was finally unveiled at the Allianz Arena on Thursday.

Goretzka announced back in January that he was to leave Schalke to join rivals Bayern in the summer, a decision which went down very badly with the fans and board at the Veltins-Arena.

Seven months later he has finally been introduced as a Bayern player. In his first press conference, he revealed that the German champions had not been the only huge club after his signature, confirming Barcelona's interest.
