In the year 2020, Leon Goretzka surprised the entire football world with a spectacular physical transformation. We were in the middle of a lockdown due to COVID when the German, lacking football, began to work on his muscle mass, showing the world a spectacular body.
At that moment, no one suspected the Bayern midfielder, who looked much more muscular. Thus began his return to football, changing his way of playing to become a much more physical midfielder, being less technical than in past times.
Social media suspects Goretzka’s physical change
But in early 2024, that musculature raised suspicions among everyone. Especially seeing Leon Goretzka’s reappearance in preseason. Upon returning to training with Bayern Munich, the midfielder arrived with a much less defined physique, leaving behind the muscles and returning to his original form.
What happened to Leon Goretzka?

Additionally, there was one detail that caught the attention of social media: his hair loss. Goretzka showed a significant loss of hair during training that could be linked to age, having just turned 29. Despite this, others pointed to this hair loss as a consequence of his previous physical change.
Many were surprised that Goretzka appeared so muscular in a short time, and now it seems that some have found the explanation. Fans have accused the German midfielder of having used steroids in the past, which have the side effect of hair loss. Some even accuse him of ‘injecting himself‘ to achieve that body.
These are harsh accusations that, for now, Goretzka has chosen not to respond to. The truth is that Leon’s physical change could not be more drastic, losing muscle mass and returning to his slender and thin body, as he was before.
Goretzka on Barcelona’s radar
With the arrival of Hansi Flick to Barcelona, many names have appeared to reinforce the midfield. The favorite is Kimmich, who knows his former national team coach perfectly. But besides the versatile player, there are other names that could be more affordable for Joan Laporta’s sports management.
One of them is N’Golo Kanté. Many thought the French midfielder had gone to Saudi Arabia to retire, but nothing could be further from the truth. A starter for the national team during the Eurocup, the former Chelsea player has once again caught the attention of the football giants in the world. And one of them is Barcelona.
But besides the French midfielder, there is another name that Hansi Flick knows well. That is none other than Leon Goretzka. The midfielder has been relegated to a less important role in Bayern Munich’s setup, making him an interesting signing for Barcelona.
So far, there have been no contacts between the two teams, but Laporta is closely monitoring the evolution of a player who could strengthen Barcelona’s midfield.
