German midfielder Leon Goretzka, 31, made his transfer to Aston Villa official. The player signed a contract valid for two seasons, which includes an option clause.

Goretzka arrived at Aston Villa without transfer costs, as he ended his contract with Bayern Munich at the end of last season and became a free agent on the transfer market.

The German leaves Bayern Munich after eight seasons at the Bavarian club. During that period, he won numerous titles, including the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

The signing of Goretzka represents a significant boost to Aston Villa's midfield, as the club looks to strengthen its squad for the upcoming season under the new manager.
