Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller is open to Mario Götze staying, stating that if the player performs as he did recently and in the spring, any coach would be happy to have him. According to 'kicker', initial talks about a new contract are scheduled to take place in the winter.

Eintracht Frankfurt's sporting director, Markus Krosche, told Sky Sports DE that he and Mario Götze have spoken and agreed to meet in the winter. Krosche said they met at the beginning or middle of September and decided to play the first half of the season and then meet for a calm discussion. The sporting director stated there is no rush from either side. Krosche also mentioned the possibility of extending the relationship, saying he believes Götze feels good in Frankfurt and that no one is under pressure. He added that they are happy to have the player and everything else will be clarified in due course.

An extension of Mario Götze's contract, which expires in 2026, is an option for Eintracht Frankfurt under one condition. According to information from 'Bild', the 33-year-old would have to forego large parts of his salary for a new contract. The playmaker is currently one of the top earners at the club with a basic salary of 3.5 million euros plus bonuses. An extension under the current terms is not feasible, as Götze currently no longer holds the role of a regular player. Sports director Markus Krösche recently left the possibility of an extension open, and both sides can still imagine continuing their collaboration.

Markus Krösche stated that a contract extension for Mario Götze, whose contract expires at the end of the season, has not yet been approved. Krösche said that they have now sat down and said they will see that he gets fit and plays for them again, and then they will sit down together every six months. Krösche described Götze as an extremely important player and indicated that the tendency was clearly towards further collaboration recently.
