Gomez going for 50m euros, Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United all interested
Stuttgart have slapped a 50m euros price tag on Mario Gomez, in a manner reminiscent of Lyon’s incessant posturing that comes every year before they sell their star player in the summer (usually to Madrid or Chelsea, or Barcelona have been the beneficiaries as well).
Mario Gomez is in demand right now and if he goes with (and stars for) Germany in Euro 2008, his value will go even higher. Once Gomez decides to leave for greener pastures, it’s going to be very difficult for Suttgart to keep him from going to Spain (Madrid, Barcelona) or England (Manchester United and Chelsea).
Gomez himself wants to play for Barcelona:
“I would like to play abroad in the future and Barcelona is my dream team.”
Then again, many players have cited other clubs as their preferred choice (Torres, Robben, Essien, Ronaldinho) before moving to another club because of the money / sudden change of circumstances, so Chelsea and Manchester United fans need not lose hope. And Real Madrid? With their rumour mill and aggressive approach to transfers, you can never count them out.
I think he’ll stay at Stuttgart for another year. Your thoughts on where Gomez will play next season?

Who is this guy???? i dont think hes what real or barca need,
Mario Gomez is the reigning German Player of the Year… and I think he is still in the running for the 2007-2008 Player of the Year title.
Exploded onto the scene last season when he led Stuttgart to an unexpected Bundesliga title with 14 goals in 25 matches. Today he has more than 20 goals in all competitions, is scoring for fun with the National Team and is one of three continental strikers in high demand. (the others are Huntelaar of Ajax and Benzema of Lyon)
Mario Gomez is VfB Stuttgart. I think he’s going to stay with VfB for ONE more season, to get his market value very high up (after the Euro)… if he doesn’t stay with VfB… that’s a different entry into this website =D.
How can you not know “Super-Mario”?!?!?!?! He is easily the best German striker currently and dominates the Bundesliga with 24 goals in 25 games in all competitions. Also he has 6 goals in 9 international caps.
I think he should move to chelsea, he would deffo hit 50 goals next season, and lead the blues to quadruple, esspecially if didi drog move to ac this season
