We can talk with Gotze at the end of the season, says Rummenigge

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has told Mario Gotze he will gladly hold talks over his future at the end of the season.

The Germany international has endured a frustrating campaign at the Allianz Arena, having been restricted to a bit-part role by Pep Guardiola after missing close to five months with a groin injury.

"We are in the important weeks of the season, so we concentrate on the here and now," he told Schwabische Zeitung. "This is all that counts.

"When all the games are done, Mario is invited to come to my office and speak with Bayern on his future.

"Everything else is speculative. Neither Mario nor his agent has expressed themselves about this subject."

"This is wrong," he said. "We have a good relationship, but there have not been talks on Mario Gotze with [Dortmund CEO] Hans-Joachim Watzke."
