Mario Gotze is one of the rising stars of German football.The 19-year-old Germany international's current contract runs until the summer of 2013, with Gotze's agent confident that his client will go nowhere before that point.
Volker Struth told Goal.com: "Mario will stay at Dortmund, for sure, the next two years.
"The club, the player and his family, we are all of one mind that it is better for him to stay there because he is happy at Dortmund.
"When there is a big club who want Mario, Dortmund have to tell the club that there is no chance. In any case, they will not sell him. In two or three years, who knows?"
