Hansi Flick says that he has been in contact with Mario Gotze recently, but the Bayern Munich boss denied reports that the club is pursuing a deal for the midfielder.
Gotze is currently a free agent, having seen his contract with Borussia Dortmund come to an end this summer.
The 28-year-old midfielder made 21 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund last season, scoring three goals in a season when he found himself often out of favour with head coach Lucien Favre.

Gotze made his return to Dortmund in 2016, rejoining the club after a three-year stint with Bayern.
