Italian press ("Tuttosport", "Corriere dello Sport") is buzzing with reports that Turin's "Juventus" has started negotiations for the acquisition of Munich's "Bayern" goalkeeper Mario Gotze.
The champions of "Serie A" are trying to fill the gap in the midfield that appeared after the departure of Andrea Pirlo, and the Chilean Arturo Vidal could also leave the team.
In the past two seasons, M.Gotze has not been very popular. The German, once considered a very promising player, seemed lost in coach Josep Guardiola's tactical schemes and even received criticism from Franz Beckenbauer.
In the 2014/15 season, the 23-year-old talent contributed 9 goals to the ordinary "Bayern" team's Bundesliga champions title.
