New Headline: Lewandowski Outcast: Bayern Champions League Bid Threatened as Player Faces Legal Battle
Recently benched: Is Götze facing the end at Frankfurt? The start under Albert Riera was rather mixed for Mario Götze. In the last two matches, the offensive player was on the bench.
However, this was not due to his performance during the training week, explained the SGE coach to 'Bild'. "When I need Mario's qualities, I play with Mario. It depends on the opponent," said the 43-year-old, adding: "That's why I always say: We don't play with the best players in the squad, but with the best players for this game.
I made my decision, but I am absolutely satisfied with all of them. " In the summer, Götze's contract with Eintracht expires, but it seems that despite being on the bench, he has a future in Hesse. The SGE bosses are reportedly interested in extending the contract with the 2014 World Cup winner, according to the Bild report.
However, he would likely have to be willing to forego some salary for an extension. With a salary of 3. 5 million euros plus bonuses, he is among the top earners at Eintracht.
Götze is reportedly willing to make concessions for a new contract. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
