This transfer really paid off for Eintracht Frankfurt: In the summer of 2022, Mario Götze switched from PSV Eindhoven to the Adlerträger for a transfer fee of just three million euros. The 2014 World Cup hero has regained his former strength and is an undisputed regular at Eintracht. Now a promotion beckons him internally.
The 30-year-old is considered an important link between midfield and attack by the Frankfurt team. Under head coach Oliver Glasner, Götze is absolutely set in the midfield of the Europa League winner and has already played 40 games this season in all competitions. No other offensive player in the SBU squad has as many minutes of action as the ex-BVB and FC Bayern player.
With his performance, Götze quickly earned the respect and recognition within his new team. Above all, his professional attitude on and off the field, as well as his dedication and footballing finesse, were well received by the new teammates from the start.
Team council of Eintracht Frankfurt is increased
According to a recent media report, SGE coach Oliver Glasner has now honored this and promoted Götze within the professional squad. According to “Sport Bild” information, Mario Götze is said to have become a new member of the Frankfurt team council.
Until the very end, this group consisted of Sebastian Rode, Kevin Trapp, Makoto Hasebe and Timothy Chandler. Now the team council has grown with the winning goal scorer from the 2014 World Cup final, who, with over 250 Bundesliga games, is one of the most experienced players in the squad.
The team council has weight at Eintracht Frankfurt. According to the “Sport Bild” report, he is the “first point of contact” for head coach Glasner and sports director Markus Krösche when it comes to sporting issues such as game tactics or financial issues such as success bonuses.
