Eintracht Delays Decision on Mario Götze Extension Until Winter

Any renewal hinges on trimmed wages, recent fitness, competition from younger teammates.

Overview

  • Götze’s contract runs until June 30, 2026, with an option for one additional year.
  • The 33-year-old says he wants to continue in Frankfurt and would extend if the choice were his.
  • Sporting director Markus Krösche stated nothing will be finalized in the coming weeks and that both sides will reassess in winter.
  • At roughly €3.5 million per year, Götze is a top earner, making a new deal likely only on reduced terms.
  • Injuries have limited him to 17 competitive minutes this season as young players such as Can Uzun and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya push for roles, while he has also expressed interest in a future MLS move.
