AC Milan's ongoing management crisis is threatening its chances of securing Leon Goretzka on a free transfer. The club is currently dealing with significant instability following a series of dismissals that left several key executive positions vacant after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

The absence of leadership at San Siro has created uncertainty around Milan's transfer plans. With no clear decision-makers in place, the club has struggled to advance negotiations for new signings, putting several potential deals at risk during a crucial period of squad planning.

Goretzka had been strongly linked with a move to Milan after leaving Bayern Munich at the end of his contract. However, the uncertain situation within the Italian club has prompted the experienced German midfielder to reassess his options before making a final decision about his future.
Juventus has emerged as one of the main beneficiaries of Milan's difficulties. The Turin-based club is reportedly prepared to present a fresh proposal in an effort to convince Goretzka to join their project, taking advantage of the delay and confusion surrounding Milan's recruitment strategy.

Competition for the midfielder remains intense, with several prominent clubs monitoring his situation. Napoli, Arsenal, and Olympique Marseille have all been mentioned as possible destinations, leaving Milan under pressure to resolve its internal issues quickly if it hopes to remain in contention for one of the most sought-after free agents on the market.
