At the weekend German newspaper Bild launched the Mario Gotze to Tottenham Hotspur rumour, even claiming the club had met Gotze’s father twice for talks about a transfer.
After going quiet on the story for a few days, Bild have again linked Gotze to Tottenham in an article on incomings and outgoings at Bundesliga clubs.
Gotze is on the out list for Bayern Munich, and the two teams vying for him are stated as Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund.
Joining Gotze on Bild’s Bayern Munich out list is defender Mehdi Benatia, with Juventus talks said to be taking place at the moment.
The Gotze issue is genuinely one that could drag on throughout the window, and into the start of next season.
If Bayern Munich (it seems to be a club, rather than manager issue for Bayern) don’t have a change of heart then Gotze surely has to accept sooner or later that he needs to leave, and that Real Madrid and Barcelona may not be interested.
