German midfielder Mario Gotze isn’t lacking offers since Borussia Dortmund opted not to extend his contract past this season. According to Sky Germany, the latest team to enter Gotze sweepstakes are La Liga side Sevilla.

Reportedly, Sevilla already made the first step and contacted Gotze’s representatives about a possible move. The Spanish club also presented their initial contract offer to the 28-year-old midfielder, although the terms remain unknown at the moment.

Mario Gotze sparked interest from several top European clubs, who are set to rival Sevilla for player’s signatures. Among those teams are reportedly Atletico de Madrid, Inter Milan, and Juventus, who all view Gotze as an affordable upgrade on the playmaker position.

Gotze spent the majority of his career in Dortmund, aside from a three years stint with Bayern Munich. He played a total of 219 games during his two stints with Borussia, scoring 46 goals and helping the club to two Bundesliga titles. Gotze won three more titles with Bayern.

Gotze is perhaps best known for helping Germany lift the World Cup in 2014. He came in as a substitute in the Finals against Argentina and scored the only goal to give his country the win.
