Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka says he won't allow his contract situation to drag on.

With Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United all ready to snap up the Bosman prospect, Goretzka says he will make a decision over his future in the coming weeks.

Schalke have offered the midfielder a €12m-a-year deal - the richest in the club's history.

"I'm in the final phase of my thinking," Goretzka said.

"I have not set a deadline, but it will not go deep into January."

Fussball Transfers says Barcelona are favourites to land the midfielder ahead of any Premier League competition.
