Mario Gotze stresses that he was never going to leave Bayern Munich despite intense speculation linking him with Juventus.

Mario Gotze has revealed that the prospect of quitting Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window never crossed his mind.

The German playmaker was heavily linked with a switch to Juventus, having reportedly fallen out with coach Pep Guardiola.

The ex-Barcelona boss was thought to have had reservations over using the 23-year-old in the bigger games, but Gotze is optimistic that he will earn chances on the big stage this time around.

"For me it was never a topic to leave Bayern Munich. I feel good at Bayern," he told reporters.

"I appreciate the fans, the manager, the team, everything. I had two good years, we've won titles. Of course sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.

"I'm excited for the new season and I have high aims. I'll work on myself and try to get more minutes on the pitch. I'm optimistic."

Gotze was on target twice as Germany beat Poland 3-1 in Euro 2016 qualifying on Friday night.
