Bayern Munich have confirmed they're in talks to sell Mario Gotze to Borussia Dortmund.

The midfielder has been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham since the end of last season.

But Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge released a statement last night:

"I can confirm that talks with Borussia Dortmund have taken place.

"There have also been talks with his agent, but the deal is not done just yet. Both clubs will have to reach an agreement over a transfer fee first.

"Gotze has been at Bayern for three years and it did not work out for him.

'I am not surprised that Gotze wants to leave. He is 24 years old and needs to play regularly."
