Gomez To Roma Just Rumours - Agent

Mario Gomez's agent, Maurizio Gaudino, has rubbished reports claiming his client will join Roma next season.

The Stuttgart striker has been a revelation in the Bundesliga and he just finished behind Luca Toni in the top-scorers chart.

Reports in Italy suggested that the Giallorossi were keen on bringing the player to the Olimpico as they strengthen for next season.

However, Gaudino insists the move is based on fantasy and that his client will stay in Germany.

"Gomez's move to Roma is just based on talk and it's all been invented," the agent told Roma News.

"We have not heard from Roma or any of their representatives.

"Of course it would be an honour for him to play in the Champions League with a team like Roma and alongside champions like Totti.

"However, it is likely that Gomez will remain in Germany as he still has four years on his contract with Stuttgart."

Roma are on the verge of keeping Mirko Vucinic on a permanent basis after reaching a deal for his full rights with Lecce. Therefore it seems unlikely that the club will invest in new hit-men given their recent financial troubles.

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.

Ballack Blames Bayern For Gomez's Euro Flop

Germany captain and former Bayern Munich star Michael Ballack has criticsed the Bavarian giants for their public pursuit of his compatriot Mario Gomez, implying that it has affected his form at Euro 2008...

Gomez has emerged as one of Germany's best young talents over the past two seasons with VfB Stuttgart and was tipped to shine at Euro 2008 - his first major international tournament - only to go three games without scoring and generally not looking himself in front of goal.

His most embarrassing moment came against Austria, where a ball bobbled up in front of him and he failed to make a proper connection, spooning the ball over the bar two yards from an open goal.

Going into the tournament his record at international level was an exceptional six goals in 10 games, it has now been 13 and the striker will be hoping he is afforded a second chance, though he is unlikely to play a part in the remainder of their Euro campaign, which continues tomorrow with their semi-final against Turkey.

Team-mate and captain Ballack has empathised with the player, suggesting that Bayern Munich's interest in the player has put him off his game.

"I certainly find it odd negotiations are taking place during the European Championship. That is not good for the player and disturbs concentration," he insisted.

"I have always had the view that I have done something before or after a tournament, so that you don't have to be busy with it during the tournament."

GOMEZ SET FOR STUTTGART TALKS

Stuttgart president Erwin Staudt has revealed plans for clear-the-air talks between chairman Dieter Hundt and striker Mario Gomez.

The forward has been persistently linked with a move to German champions Bayern Munich and the speculation has overshadowed his performances at Euro 2008.

Rumours over the player's future have also reportedly led to a rift between him and the chairman - something which Staudt is keen to address.

Staudt told German daily the Stuttgarter Zeitung: "I will ensure that both sit down at the table. With that, the case would be closed.

"Mario should concentrate on the European Championship. After that we will find a time for that conversation. There has to be calm - and I will achieve that."

Stuttgart officials held talks last week with their Bayern counterparts, but the club have always denied they are prepared to sell Gomez.

Staudt added: "We are in control of the deal. Mario Gomez belongs to our family - and we fight for every family member."

Germany captain Michael Ballack earlier suggested Bayern's pursuit of the 22-year-old had unsettled the striker.

Gomez has certainly failed to live up to expectations in Austria and Switzerland, failing to score in Germany's three group games before being dropped for the quarter-final win over Portugal.

Matthaus To Gomez: Go To Arsenal

German legend Lothar Matthaus has urged Mario Gomez to consider moving to Arsenal this summer, the Stuttgart striker having been linked with a Premier League switch…

The Gunners are reported to be at the head of the queue for Gomez, who scored 19 goals in the Bundesliga last season to cement his status as one of Europe’s most promising young centre-forwards.

Bayern Munich are also eager to snap up the Spanish-descended hitman, while Stuttgart are determined to hold onto their main goal-threat.

Big things were expected of Gomez coming into EURO 2008, as he was selected by Joachim Löw to lead Germany’s line alongside Miroslav Klose.

The 22-year-old has had a stinker of a tournament, to put it bluntly, appearing out of his depth and contriving not to score despite being gifted a number of gilt-edged opportunities.

Many have put his poor performances down to inexperience, and Matthaus believes there is no better place for a rising star to sort out his kinks than at the Emirates.

“It would be great for Gomez to work with a manager like Arsene Wenger — especially if Arsenal lose goal-getter Emmanuel Adebayor to Inter or AC Milan,” the former Bayern sweeper said in The Sun.

“If Gomez really seeks a change, I would suggest a move to a club which plays in the Champions League. Judging from his potential, that is where he belongs.

“He has got enough offers. He should retreat for a couple of days and then make a decision by himself. His destiny is on the line.”

Bayern Not Giving Up On Gomez

Despite announcing that their spending for this summer is over, Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed that the club are still keeping close tabs on Stuttgart striker Mario Gomez and could move for him in the future.

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has not ruled out a future move for German international striker Mario Gomez vowing to keep up the club's interest in Stuttgart forward.

'Super Mario' didn't have the best of tournaments during Euro 2008 despite being billed as one of the stars to watch. He failed to find his form and eventually lost his place in the German starting line-up.

He has been at the centre of much transfer speculation over the past season with Bundesliga champions Bayern high on the list of possible suitors, although he is contracted at the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion until 2012.

Bayern however are not giving up hope of landing the most sought-after player in the Bundesliga.

"There is a clause in his contract which gives us the possibility to bring him here, possibly within the next year" Rummenigge said.

Bayern already possess three top strikers in Luca Toni, Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski and news that they are still tracking Gomez must send shudders across the rest of the Bundesliga.

Mario Gomez has put an end to the speculations linking him with a move to the champions FC Bayern and confirmed he will stay for at least one more season at VfB Stuttgart.

"I have not once said that I will leave the club this summer".

Same news that I reported in the post above, however, this contains more quotes from him.

GOMEZ PLEDGES FUTURE TO STUTTGART

Germany striker Mario Gomez has moved to end speculation that he will leave Stuttgart this summer.

Gomez is a long-standing target for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich while Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old.

But the player now insists he will remain at the Mercedes-Benz Arena for next season.

He told his own website: "There has been a lot of speculation regarding my future in recent weeks.

"And some people have asked me to state my loyalty to Stuttgart.

"That is not necessary though as not once did I say I wanted to leave the club this summer.

"I have a contract with Stuttgart.

"I am honoured by the interest from some leading European clubs but, as I said months ago, if I move, everything has to be right.

"I am sure that time will come but there is nothing more to say in that respect."

Fulham interested in Mario Gomez

ROY HODGSON is bidding to complete a £33million revamp of his Fulham forward line by snapping up Mario Gomez from Stuttgart.

Craven Cottage boss Hodgson has stolen a march on Arsenal and his negotiators are understood to have agreed a fee of around £15million with the German club.

Bobby Zamora has already joined from West Ham for £6.3m, while ex-Crystal Palace striker Andy Johnson has arrived for £12m from Everton. Now

German international Gomez is close to agreeing personal terms.

Arsenal face Stuttgart and former keeper Jens Lehmann today in a pre-season friendly.

And they may have to do some late wheeler-dealing if they want to put the skids under Hodgson’s latest transfer coup.

Gomez’s advisers had talks with Gunners representatives on Monday.

The 23-year-old’s arrival at the Cottage would confirm Hodgson’s intent to make a big impression on the Premier League this season.

He wants to end the club’s perpetual battles against relegation by taking them to a European place.

Roy's green light for Gomez | The Sun |Sport|Football

Fulham..

.. are they serious?

[Hans]

Mario was very poor last weekend against Leverkusen, besides missing several passes he also wasted 2 great chances, which hurt us a lot. I don't think Mario has been able to move on after the disastrous EC campaign he had, I believe it's still affecting him mentally, he isn't as confident as he used to be. Stuttgart need him to recover soon though, because he is very important for this team, our only proven goalscorer.

[Vargas_4]

It's never easy to shake off such bad performances in an international stage, in this case, the EC.

But he'll probable be getting over it by mid-September.
