2016/17 Summer Transfer Rumours Mk. I

Bayern Munich say Mario Gotze will have to decide for himself whether he wants to move away from the club.

Sky sources understand the 23-year-old is a transfer target for Liverpool, where he would be reunited with his former boss at Dortmund, Jurgen Klopp.

And with new head coach Carlo Ancelotti set to begin work at the Allianz Arena, Bayern's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has refused to give Gotze any guarantees.

"I had talks with him (Mario) and (Carlo) Ancelotti. Mario knows the thoughts of Bayern," Rummenigge told Kicker magazine. "Everything was clearly and seriously explained to Mario.

"He knows what the club thinks and what the new coach thinks. Mario has to evaluate for himself whether he wants to play constantly."

is he staying or going.

Loan him back for free.

I'm fairly certain we'd take him for another season, we just don't want to spend a significant amount to make his move permanent after what was an injury plagued year but I think there's less opposition to him being given another opportunity to contribute. His attitude has been commendable since his return, he's just looked short of confidence.

They make it sound like a rumor
Berlusconi came out yesterday and said that Alex, Mexes, Boateng and Balotelli will leave among others.

Liverpool should probably just release the contract to avoid paying his salary.

Well his presence at Liverpool's pre-season training is not yet certain. His contract with us doesn't expire for another month, during which time it's entirely possible that Liverpool will have found another club for him.

Should consider going to Dortmund.Best place to revive his career than going to the circus that is the PL.

Dani Alves doesnt cost money,he's a free agent.So naturally he's too unfancy for a PL club

he would have to take a big pay cut to go back to dortmund

If Juve get Alves, it'll effectively rule out MDS for them imo

Also, Bayern snooping around for him according to GDS, Carlo had a massive hard on for him when he was at Madrid, so it's understandable

And he should.Its best for his career.Rather than going to England as a big wage-big money signing where there's inevitably going to be load of expectations from the fans who expect instant results.

I honestly think renewing his loan with Milan is probably the best move for Balotelli. No need to readjust to yet another squad yet not being burdened with the responsibility to be the main scorer thanks to Bacca's presence. Not to mention that the club has proven fairly permissive towards him.

If he were to leave though I don't think Dortmund is a good move. He needs to play more regularly and he'd be reduced to fighting for time as a substitute even at Dortmund, even with midweek games from European football. An upper midtable side like Sassuolo or Wolfsburg would be a better bet.
