Decisive Object: Frankfurt will decide Gotze s future during the winter break, and the player himself hopes to renew his contract

Hupu September 8th Although Mario Gotze is no longer completely indispensable on the court, the 33-year-old midfielder still brings creativity and rich experience to Frankfurt. Off the court, Gotze has become the team's deputy captain. Markus Krösche, director of Frankfurt Sports, emphasized the importance of Gotze at a press conference on Monday: "He is a very important part of our team. He can tell young players that careers are not always smooth sailing, the key is how to get through those lows and prove himself again." Gotze's contract with Frankfurt will expire next summer, with the option of renewal. Krosk revealed that the negotiations on the future will be held during the winter break: "Geze still has extraordinary strength and his physical condition is also good. We have communicated well and will sit down to talk in the winter. At present, neither we nor Goeze have any specific news."

Geze himself has repeatedly expressed his willingness to stay in the team. In an interview with Sports Photos, the 2014 World Cup champion said: "Frankfurt is very suitable for me for fans, clubs and opportunities to participate in European games. If I could decide my own contract, I would definitely not hope it expires next summer, but will be extended to at least after this season."

Now it seems that Gotze's future will not be clear until the winter break.
