In a first transitional campaign to adapt to Eindhoven, the scorer of the goal in the 2014 World Cup final had a great second season. His eleven goals and eleven assists this season helped him return to his best. In addition, he started 48 of the 51 matches he played.

The attacker began to excel in the Borussia Dortmund youth team before making the leap to the first team. With Klopp as coach and teammates such as Lewandowski, Reus, Gundogan and Hummels, they were able to form a great squad. He then joined Bayern Munich and played there for three years.

Gotze returned to Signal Iduna Park in 2016 as a much-desired return, but his performance was never the same. As a result, he decided to change of scenery and left for the Eredivisie, where he has managed to excel. As a result, the Europa League champions turned their attention to him as a key figure for this season's project.

"We've been missing a type of player like him until now. Mario's technical skills will help our game enormously, especially when we have possession of the ball against hard opponents. He also brings with him many years of experience at the highest international level," said Markus Krosche, the club's sporting director.

Gotze, for his part, expressed his excitement: "This club has undergone an extraordinary development and has embarked on an exciting and ambitious path. I'm really looking forward to returning to the Bundesliga. We also have the chance to play in the Champions League.
