Mario Götze is not ready to end his career in MLS

Germany international Mario Götze is not expected to make a move to Major League Soccer, or MLS, in the January transfer window. Bild recently reported that the midfielder has plans to finish his illustrious career in the United States. However, Götze still has unfinished business with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Götze signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in 2022. This means that his current contract does not expire until 2026. Although he has been linked multiple times with a switch to MLS, Götze is still an important part of the puzzle in the German top flight.

The creative midfielder has started 11 of 16 total games in all competitions so far this season under manager Dino Toppmöller. He also entered the fray as a substitute in the remaining five matches. With Götze contributing, the club currently sits seventh in the Bundesliga table. This is the same place where Eintracht finished during the 2022/23 campaign.

However, Eintracht has already booked a place in the knockout rounds of the Europa Conference League. Toppmöller’s team still has two matches remaining in the group stage. The German side has won all three of their European games with Götze in the lineup. They are next set to face PAOK Salonika in the fifth round of the group stage on Thursday.

Despite battling serious injuries, Götze has found a home with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

Toppmöller admitted that Götze is likely to find himself in the club’s starting lineup for the match. “Mario is always a candidate for the starting eleven,” proclaimed the Eintracht coach. “We said before the Stuttgart game that we had to see how we could get him under the pressure. It is possible that he will start against Salonika, the option is definitely there.”
