Manchester City target Mario Gomez is yet to make a decision over his Stuttgart future.
"I will see what happens in the summer and then talk with my family," he told Bild am Sonntag. "We'll look at the issue when after we've seen what happens at the end of the season - certainly not before.
"It obviously depends on what happens in the near future. I still believe the club will strengthen ahead of the new season, and we also need to play at a higher level."
