Götze’s solo: How the Bayern-Star snubbed Rummenigge and Struth
At this time hardly anyone understands why Götze is fighting a move from Bayern. Both Bayern and his ex-agent Struth were anticipating a transfer, then Götze annoyed everyone with his change of heart. Even in Dortmund and in Liverpool, people are angry.
In just two hours, Götze turned into an enigma. First his agency, SportsTotal, and he announced a split, then he announced that he wanted to stay at Bayern, after all. Four days later one thing is clear: Götze isolated himself within hours.
Bayern-Boss Rummenigge was hit unexpectedly by Götze’s public announcement. The case turned into a top-level issue, even Sammer isn’t commenting.
Rummenigge is annoyed by Götze
Rummenigge didn’t even try to hide his resentment. Bayern is annoyed and just want Götze gone. The issue seemed solved after the call between Götze and new coach Ancelotti - until Götze offered his very own interpretation of it.
Juicy detail: according to „Kicker“ Götze only told Bayern’s director of PR Hörwick and not Rummingge that he declined both Liverpool’s and Dortmund’s offers and wanted to stay at Bayern.
Until then, neither Liverpool nor Dortmund were aware what was going on. Both clubs still had big hopes of signing Mario: For the first time, Dortmund had internally agreed on a Götze-transfer. Liverpool was ready to meet almost every demand Bayern was going to make.
Nobody understands Götze
That Götze smashed the connections to both clubs annoys Bayern. Now it becomes increasingly difficult to sell him before the transfer-window closes. Götze’s ex-agent Struth knew of this a bit longer. It’s rumoured that he cut the cords with Götze because Mario refused to transfer. Also he would have made a good amount of money on the deal, and his own relationship to Bayern is rather shaky. Both are good reasons why he wanted a deal, but now things are much more complicated.
Bayern deosn’t want him anymore For Götze, there are many athletic (?) reasons that speak in favor of a change of scenery. All involved parties don’t understand what’s going on with Mario and why he want’s to stay at the club that doesn’t want him anymore. In the end,even Struth wasn’t able to reason with Götze. Apparently Götze is of the opinion that he listened to the wrong people. That might be the reason his own dad is now representing him. With new found confidence and new support back to succes, from Götze’s point of view it might already be too late
