Welcome to Frankfurt: Mario Götze will be an Eagle Bearer

The rumor that has been doing the rounds for a few days is now a certainty: world champion Mario Götze will play for Eintracht next season. The player and the club have agreed on a contract until 2025. The 30-year-old was in the past two seasons 77 times on the ball for PSV Eindhoven, with which he won the Dutch Super Cup in 2021 and the national cup in 2022, to which he contributed 18 goals and assists each.

 

Before that, the attacking midfielder played a total of 219 games for Borussia Dortmund and 114 for FC Bayern Munich between 2010 and 2020. With the top German clubs, Götze won five championships, four DFB Cups, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. The 63-time German international celebrated his greatest success in 2014, when he scored the golden 1:0 in extra time against Argentina to win the title at the World Cup in Brazil.

 

Consequently, the native of Memmingen in eight Champions League participations and 62 encounters in the premier league is characterized not only great international experience, but has always been an excellent ball handling, agility, action speed and passing accuracy. Perfect conditions, therefore, to also bring Eintracht back to the forefront in the Bundesliga.

Sports Director Markus Krösche says of Goetze's signing, "The fact that a player like Mario Goetze has chosen Eintracht Frankfurt with full conviction in the face of numerous offers speaks first of all for the outstanding image that the club has built up in recent years. I don't need to say much about his footballing qualities. We have lacked a player like him up to now. Mario's technical skills will help our game enormously, especially in possession against deep opponents. In addition, he can bring his strengths to bear in almost every offensive position, which gives us even more tactical variability. Last but not least, he brings with him many years of experience at the top international level."

Mario Götze added: "I'm incredibly excited about Eintracht Frankfurt. This club has taken an extraordinary development and has embarked on an exciting and ambitious path, on which I am now allowed to accompany the club. The talks with Markus Krösche and Oliver Glasner quickly showed that we have and are pursuing the same goals and ideas. This club has a great foundation. From the stadium to the fans to the city, everything just fits me. I'm totally looking forward to my return to the Bundesliga. In addition, we have the chance to play in the Champions League."
