Mario Gomez Signs for Wolfsburg to Return to Germany

index Categories Mario GomezTags , , , , , ,

After spending the last few seasons in Italy, Mario Gomez has managed to secure a return to German football after signing for Wolfsburg.


The German international has spent the entirety of his career in German football apart from the three years at Fiorentina. This was seen as a move that would reinvigorate his career after he had lost his place in the Bayern Munich team. It was not long ago that Gomez was the most expensive player in German football after his £ 35 million transfer from Stuttgart in 2009. He went on to make more than 170 appearances for Bayern in all competitions.

This period was also highly successful for the player in terms of trophies since he managed to win several league titles and the Champions League medal. Gomez had earlier won only one major honour in his career before his move to Bayern. Since the transfer to Italy, his career has been on a downward spiral. There was even a loan move to Turkish football that came about last season. His interest in scoring record with Besiktas last season is thought to have been one of the main factors in convincing Wolfsburg to pay this transfer fee.

Besiktas president Fikret Orman has confirmed that the club are still retaining hope that they can bring in Fiorentina forward Mario Gomez before the end of the transfer window.


Turkish football may be in a state of despair due to the violence happening in the region, but the sport has continued to thrive even in the absence of peace. After having recently achieved immense success in the Turkish league, Besiktas are looking to build on this platform by continuously finishing ahead of teams like Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. The signing of a player like Gomez could significantly alter the stance of the club.

Gomez has been one of the consistent goalscorer’s in European football over the last decade. He was a regular for the German national team before really concentrating on club football following his move away from Bayern Munich in 2007. Over the years, there have been various rumours linking the forward with a move to some of them top clubs. This has certainly subsided since the player at 31 years of age is not an attractive proposition for the really top clubs. Besiktas, however, will appreciate the fact that Gomez will come into the squad adding a lot of experience.

World best footballer, Lionel Messi scored his 50th goal for his country in the 2-0 victory against Bolivia. The victory puts Argentina in a good place for world Cup qualification. The game played on Tuesday lifts Argentina a point ahead of Chile and Columbia.

Argentina has garnered eleven points from six games and sits third in the CONCACAF region. Uruguay and Ecuador both have 13 points each. They both place first and second respectively.

In the match against Bolivia, prolific defender Gabriel Mercado opened the scoring with a goal in the 21st minute. He was the same player who scored the winner in the keenly contested 2-1 away victory against Chile.

After Mercado’s goal, Ronald Eguino was fouled by Bolivia’s Ever Banega. Lionel Messi took the spot kick and scored his 499th career goal. With the International goal, he moved within six goals of Gabriel Batistuta’s record for Argentina.

After the game, Lionel Messi told TyC Sports: “This (campaign) is very long and what’s important is that we won and remain on course. I’m happy with goal number 50 but more because we won and this helps to keep growing.”

I think we played a serious match and won well.” Continue reading http://MESSI%20SCORES%2050TH%20INTERNATIONAL%20GOAL

Mario Gomez is sparking his career back to life in Besiktas

index Categories Mario GomezTags ,

Mario Gomez’s time in Fiorentina was underwhelming as the German attacker was plagued by injuries which kept him out of action for a significantly long period of time and he was eventually loaned out to Besikas on a season long deal and the Turkish club has the option of signing Gomez on a permanent deal.
Even though Gomez finished his last season by only scoring 4 goals in 20 appearances, this has not stopped Besiktas on taking a risk and signing Gomez on a loan deal and even though it has been less than 1 year since Gomez joined Besiktas, he has already made a huge impact after scoring 14 goals in 5 months with the Turkish side.
14 goals in 5 months might not seem like a very impressive feat but taking into consideration that Mario Gomez needed 2 years in order to score that same amount of goals, the German is going through a much better season which is good news for the German forward who is trying to spark his career back to life.
Besiktas has the option of turning the loan deal of Mario Gomez into a permanent one and for an extremely cheap price of only €1.000, all fingers are pointing towards Besiktas keeping hold of Mario Gomez beyond his current loan deal which is bad news for Manchester United as the Premier League club has been interested in signing Gomez for these past few transfer window but they have failed on signing him and Besiktas is now on an advantageous position of securing the services of a renowned player without having to spend a large amount of money.

Mario Gomez rejected the Premier League as he joined Besiktas

index Categories Mario Gomez

Mario Gomez has seen his career take a huge turn in a fairly short period of time as the German attacker was a consistent starter in Bayern Munich and helped the club in lifting major titles including: Bundesliga and the Champions League but that would be the high point in the career of Gomez as he later went on to join Fiorentina where he struggled to make an impact after scoring less than 10 goals in 2 seasons for the Italian club.

After having spent such a mediocre campaign with Fiorentina, the Italian club opted to allow Besiktas on making a move for Mario Gomez as he joined the Turkish outfit on a season long loan deal and they have the option to buy Gomez when the loan deal reaches it’s end.

The 30 year old German forward has revealed that he received offers from clubs in Germany as well as England in the Premier League but he decided to join Besiktas as it’s a better chance for him to play regularly in the main team and prepare himself for the upcoming 2016 Euro’s.
The 2016 Euro’s is less than 1 year away from kicking off and Mario Gomez is hoping that he can get in the German national and perform in the approaching tournament.

“I had offers also from England and Germany. Of course I know that the Turkish league is not on the same level as the Bundesliga, the Italian, Spanish or English leagues and looking from the outside, it’s a step back from Bayern to Fiorentina and then to Turkey, but everybody has the right to say what they like.’’

“I am 100 percent convinced by my decision and it is a considered choice.The European Championship next year is a big aim of mine and of course I believe I can make it there too. I just needed to take this step for Euro 2016. The coming months will show what direction things will move in.”
Even if Mario Gomez does get a starting role in Besiktas and starts scoring goals on a consistent basis in his new club, it will not guarantee him a place in the starting XI lineup of Joachim Low as the coach of the German national side has a lot of players who are competing for a chance to get into in his main team.

The MLS is a possible destination for Fiorentina’s Mario Gomez

Mario Gomez has gone from being a regular player in Bayern Munich and winning Bundesliga titles to turning into an unused substitute for Fiorentina. In 2 seasons, Gomez has made a total of 29 appearances for the Italian outfit Fiorentina and it has become clear that Gomez does not play an important role for Fiorentina and might not ever will.

Having only scored 4 goals in 20 Serie A appearances for Fiorentina, Vincenzo Montella does not have faith in Gomez and it’s staying to become more evident from what has happened in the past few months where Gomez has only been able to make 2 appearances from the last 8 matches of Fiorentina.

Gomez has a contract with Fiorentina which extends until 2017 but he being rumored of making a move to the American League, the MLS.

The New York Red Bulls and New York City FC are the clubs of the MLS that Gomez is being linked with but the German forward might be just too far away from the reach of the American clubs. Continue reading http://The%20MLS%20is%20a%20possible%20destination%20for%20Fiorentina’s%20Mario%20Gomez
