Mario Götze has found a new club.
The World Cup hero is moving abroad to the Netherlands and is playing in the Europa League this season.
Where does the clubless
Mario Götze *
sign
?
Hertha BSC *
was the hottest candidate,
FC Bayern *
did not intervene either.
The World Cup hero made a different decision and switched to
PSV Eindhoven
.
Update from October 7th, 8:25 am:
That was a surprise!
Despite a long phone call with Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia,
Mario Götze
decided to
move to Holland for
PSV Eindhoven
.
The German coach
Roger Schmidt
is said to have convinced the 63-time national player in particular.
“After our head coach Roger Schmidt contacted him, Mario was immediately interested.
And in the end it turned out to be the
stroke of luck
we had hoped for.
We are happy that he signed a contract with PSV.
We are very proud, ”said PSV director John de Jong.
On Tuesday evening things suddenly had to go very quickly.
The clubless Götze could have moved to a new club at a later date, but the
UEFA registration deadline
for the European Cup put both sides under pressure.
Eindhoven starts in the
Europa League
this season
.
By Tuesday all participants had to submit their player registration lists, which of course could not be missing the new star of the Eredivisie club.
Six Germans play with Götze at PSV Eindhoven.
Including FCB loan from Adrian Fein and Phillipp Max, son of 1860 legend Martin Max.
Mario Götze moves to Eindhoven: "Make my own decisions"
Update from October 7th, 0.20 a.m.:
The transfer of
Mario Götze
to the Netherlands has now been
officially
confirmed.
The 28-year-old and
PSV Eindhoven
agreed on a
two-year contract
.
"Mario's interest was aroused after our coach Roger Schmidt got in touch with him," said PSV sporting director John de Jong.
"I had a lot of offers this summer, but I am an
emotional person
and make my own decisions," said Götze in the press release of the Dutch first division club.
"I feel ready for a completely different challenge and I am confident that this will be a very
pleasant transition
for me."
Give him a warm ♥ ️🤍 welcome!

Mario Götze: Medical check at PSV Eindhoven - transfer will soon be official
Update from October 6th,
8.45pm
:
It is probably the most widely watched
transfer poker game
in German football:
After his contract ended,
Mario Götze was
looking for a new club with which he could attack again.
Now the 28-year-old seems to have found what he is looking for and is
actually
moving
abroad
.
According to information from the Bild newspaper, the former FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund player is currently undergoing a
medical check
at
PSV Eindhoven
in the Netherlands.
The former German national player can win a two-year contract with the traditional club if he passes the routine test.
For a long time it was not clear how things would go on with Götze after his inglorious end of his contract.
A change within the Bundesliga to Hertha BSC
failed
, now Götze even gets the chance to prove himself on the European stage.
PSV will
compete
in the
Europa League
this season
, which was probably also decisive for the transfer.
Another aspect could be the German coach
Roger Schmidt
, who already
piloted Adrian Fein
from Bayern to Eindhoven.
Mario Götze: Hertha deal is bursting - where is the 28-year-old going?
Update from October 6th, 12.09 p.m.:
The
transfer window
is now closed in Germany.
Means: No Bundesliga club can sign a player from another club - only departures to countries in which the transfer period has not yet ended are still possible.
For example, two last-minute loans to Holland are on the way at FC Bayern.
The fact that the transfer window is closed does not automatically mean that the German clubs can no longer strengthen themselves.
Players without a club can be signed up at any time.
And there are prominent names on that list.
Right at the top:
Mario Götze
.
The World Cup hero is repeatedly associated with
Hertha BSC
.
The Berliners were
hardworking
on
Deadline Day
, brought the midfielder
Eduard Löwen
back from Augsburg early and also
loaned
Matteo Guendouzi
from Arsenal FC.
In addition, there was the purchase of defensive man
Omar Alderete
(Basel, 6.5 million).
In return,
Karim Rekik
went to Seville (4.5 million) and
Arne Maier
was loaned to Bielefeld.
So a lot of movement.
And
idol
?

Apparently there are internal doubts at
Hertha
.
According to
Kicker
, one is not sure how much the former Dortmund man still has in the tank after difficult years of sport.
And: Of course, a Götze move to
Berlin
would be
awesome.
Can a young team that is currently in a state of upheaval cope with this and has not necessarily had the best experiences with a lot of media attention (Hello, Mr. Klinsmann!)?
Elsewhere, for example in
Munich
, the second question would at least not be a problem.
At
FC Bayern,
however, they seem to be full after the final spurt of the transfer *.
Mario Götze: Switch to Hertha BSC?
Bundesliga club have good cards
First report from October 5th, 8.46 a.m .:
Munich / Berlin - The transfer window ends on Monday, October 5th - that
doesn't matter
in the case of
Mario Götze
, because he is a free player and can therefore join a new club at any time.
But it's about time.
Because most of the clubs have completed their planning.
Where is the World Cup hero staying?
The
Bayern Munich
as a possible buyer is still an issue.
Hertha BSC
could soon be serious.
Mario Götze: Hertha BSC hottest candidate for transfer
The
picture
reports that the talks between Götze and the club from the capital could soon enter the hot phase.
Allegedly, Hertha coach
Bruno Labbadia has
already phoned Götze for about an hour and a half.
Managing director
Michael Preetz
didn't want to be looked at.
"On Monday, the speculations will be over," he announced - in the Götzes case, this hope will probably not come true for the reasons mentioned.
Mario Götze: Markus Babbel speaks out for FC Bayern - especially because of Flick
The Hertha interest also confirms the
kicker
, according to the report, both Preetz and Labbadia can imagine a commitment.
But is FC Bayern out now?
No, according to
Sky
expert
Markus Babbel
.
The ex-Bayern player thinks that a move to Munich would “have charm.
Mario is a great player.
With Hansi Flick * he would have a trainer who knows and appreciates him, "said Babbel at
Sky 90
.
Lothar Matthäus
contradicts, he thinks Berlin is the better solution.
I'll tell you how it is now: we should really try to get Götze.
We need more options.
Hansi might get him back on track.
Please don't kill me.

Mario Götze: Lothar Matthäus recommends Berlin - "I would prefer"
"In his situation I would prefer Berlin," he said.
“There he would be a reinforcement.
At Bayern he has already sat on the bench.
In Berlin Götze would have "a new home where those responsible trust him".
No matter where Götze goes - it is clear that he has to make significant cuts in salary.
But he is also ready for this, as he said himself.
In addition to Hertha,
Bayer Leverkusen *
is also
considered interested.
Mario Götze: Bayern strikes on the transfer market - no more space for World Cup hero?
The late transfer offensive of the record champions speaks against a Bayern change from Mario Götze.
With
Marc Roca *
a man has already been brought in for the headquarters,
Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting *
,
Douglas Costa *
and
Bouna Sarr *
are apparently about to be signed.
Is there still a need for an idol?
Despite everything, Bayern remain a serious option - mainly because of Flick.
