Bayern Munich star Mario Gotze refuses to rule out Liverpool move

For the second day running stories exist over Mario Gotze’s possible move to Liverpool.
The transfer rumour was first tabled on Friday by German daily Bild, as they splashed the story on their front page.

The basis of the story relates to the well known positive working relationship between Gotze and Jurgen Klopp.
The German World Cup winner burst onto the scene at Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund, before he moved to the Allianz Arena in 2013.
So could the two be reunited at Anfield? Yes, it’s possible, claim Bild.
Gotze is under contract at Bayern until 2017, and Bild are unclear whether the Bavarians will look to extend the deal. If they chose to offload the attacking midfielder, Liverpool could sign him for around 50 million euros.
Bild have since spoken to the footballer directly to get his take on the whole story, and the big takeaway is that Gotze has refused to deny the transfer out of hand. Instead he told Bild:
Everything is still open. We will see how things go at the end of the season. I have a contract until June 2017. But of course, it is important how the new coach feels about me. The coach’s plans are decisive in the end.
So we will just have to wait and see how things pan out. I have not really given my future much thought recently because of my injury, but everything is open as things stand. It all depends on the plans of the club and the new coach.
Some important notes.
Liverpool are unlikely to sign Gotze in January, regardless of the credibility of the Bild story. The player is currently on the comeback trail from a groin injury, and it’s hugely doubtful any deal will be executed this transfer window.
And yet it’s easy to buy into a narrative that claims Gotze may be interested in leaving Bayern.
Since joining Gotze has failed to lock down a starting place in the Munich XI, and during his recent injury the German international seems to have fallen down the pecking order once more. Douglas Costa, Arjen Robben and Arturo Vidal all seem ahead of him in the midfield slots.
Liverpool currently have 12 first team players out with injury.
