Mario Gomez is reportedly in negotiations with Barcelona over a possible move this summer, according to Besiktas general manager Metin Albayrak.
Per Sport's Toni Juanmarti, he told Anadolu press agency that Gomez would not be returning to Turkey on another loan deal from Fiorentina: "Our fans hope to see him again at Besiktas, but we know it will be difficult to see him return here. Mario is in negotiations with Barca and [Borussia] Dortmund. It is not easy for us."
According to Juanmarti, Gomez said his decision not to return to Besiktas is "completely due to the political situation" despite an excellent campaign.
