However, following reports this morning that they have been prized out of a move for the latter, Bayern have delivered another transfer blow.
“He [Gotze] will stay at Bayern,” Rummenigge told Sport1.
“He’s informed the club that he wants to stay and assert himself. Kingsley Coman? He’s not on our list of targets.”
Coach Pep Guardiola then echoed those words in a Press conference ahead of the Hamburg match, as the Bundesliga gets underway.
“Mario will stay. Thomas [Muller] will stay. Kevin De Bruyne [of Wolfsburg] is not coming. I knew these things two weeks ago.”
