Mario Götze was one of the names with the most poster among the free players this summer, but yesterday closed the major league market and no one wanted to sign him. Now the opportunity has come from PSV, whose market ended this Tuesday and which has managed to register him on time. He will wear the number 27 and will be able to play the Europa League.
The world champion with Germany sign for two years after having passed the medical examination, which was what was most feared. It is understood that Roger Schmidt, German coach since this summer, has had a lot to do with the negotiations to convince a player of his level. In fact, this summer he has also signed Vincent Müller, Philipp Max, Yvon Mvogo and Adrian Fein, all of them from the Bundesliga.
This was confirmed by Götze himself in his first words as a new PSV player: “I had nice conversations with Roger and started to think seriously about this transfer. I am ready for a different challenge and found it in Eindhoven.”
He is not the only signing that the club has undertaken in this last day, since it has also been able to close on time the transfer of Marco van Ginkel, from Chelsea, in what is his third loan to PSV.
