I know he loves Bayern and grew up supporting them as a kid, but with Euro 2016 around the corner, why would he and Bayern not expect a loan + obligation to buy for 35 million with a buyback option fixed @ 50 million in 2 years. The kid must be pretty dense, or waiting for the moneybags in the EPL to make an offer.
A loan + obligation with a buyback clause is a win-win-win. Gotze gets playing time, we get a quality AM for a couple of years at least, and Pep gets rid of a guy he hardly has any use for.
