'I can't see Gotze joining a top club' - World Cup winner must 'step down' after Dortmund, says Matthaus

The former Germany international cannot see any of the top sides in Europe wanting to snap up a 27-year-old who has rather lost his way of late

Mario Gotze will need to “take a step down in his career” if the decision is taken by Borussia Dortmund to set him free, says Lothar Matthaus, with it unlikely that the World Cup winner will find “a top club”.

A man who fired Germany to global glory in 2014 is approaching the end of his current contract.

Dortmund have offered no indication that they will be looking to agree fresh terms with the 27-year-old midfielder.
