Extends with Frankfurt Gotze has extended with Frankfurt, according to his club.

Impact Gotze will be staying with Frankfurt for another few seasons after inking an extension, as the German World Cup hero has exchanged a summer of 2026 exit date to extend until June 2028. This leaves an important veteran midfielder at the club for a few more seasons, continuing to play at the top levels as his skills start to fade a bit. He will likely see more of a rotational role like he has this season, still without a goal contribution in 18 appearances (seven starts).
