Stuttgart Rule Out Gomez Sale

Stuttgart have announced that German striker Mario Gomez will not be joining Bayern Munich.

The international forward has been recently linked with a move to the Bundesliga champions and the two clubs are reported to have met on Friday.

Stuttgart manager Horst Heldt however has ruled out any such move with a statement on the club’s official website.

"We have informed FC Bayern that we will not be selling Mario Gomez" he said.

"There was an exchange of information in which Bayern announced their interest in Gomez" Stuttgart spokesman Oliver Schraft explained.

"But the issue is now dealt with as far as we are concerned."

Despite finishing as the club’s top scorer in the two previous seasons, Gomez has failed to impress so far at the European Championships and recently lost his place in the starting line-up for the quarter final win over Portugal.
