Gotze to remain at Bayern Munich

Mario Gotze has expressed his desire to remain at Bayern Munich next season under incoming manager Carlo Ancelotti.

The 23-year-old endured a difficult season suffering from injuries and a lack of form, meaning that he failed to establish himself as a regular first-team player. 

As a result the player has been linked with a move away to Liverpool and even a return to former club Borussia Dortmund.

However, on Monday he revealed to Bild that he wanted to remain at the Allianz Arena.

"I look forward to the new season in Munich and will do everything possible to compete in top shape during my first training session under Carlo Ancelotti," he said.

Rumours regarding Gotze's future escalated earlier on Monday when he parted company with agent Volker Struth, whose company SportsTotal represent a number of Bundesliga stars.
