    Which future for Germany striker Mario Gomez?

    Which future for Germany striker Mario Gomez?

    Mario Gomez failed to live up to expectations at Fiorentina when he was only able to score 14 goals in 47 games between 2013 and 2015. The Germany International moved to Besiktas on a loan deal last summer and has begun a new life in Turkey. Scorer of 28 goals in 41 games he has attracted the interest of some big European clubs and has convinced Joachim Low to give him a call-up to Germany squad for EURO 2016.

    The Germany head coach started Mario Gotze as a false nine in the first two games of the tournament (against Ukraine and Poland), but given the Bayern Munich striker’s wastefulness in front of goal he opted for a classic centre forward in the following two clashes (Northern Ireland and Slovakia).

    Gomez netted two goals in as much games, becoming best Germany striker in the European Championships (5 goals) alongside Jurgen Klinsmann. The 31-year-old striker has scored four goals in the last four games he started with his national team.

    What about his future? Besiktas could sign him to permanent deal for just € 1.000 but Gomez wants to join a bigger club. That’s why he could return to Fiorentina before moving to another club.
    Paulo Sousa’s favourite striker is Nikola Kalinic and Gomez doesn’t want to stay at Fiorentine either. In addition, his contract at the Franchi expires in June 2017 and the next transfer window will be the last one Fiorentina can use to monetize the striker’s sale.
