Wolfsburg sign Gomez

 

Wolfsburg have announced they have signed Mario Gomez from Fiorentina.

 

Gomez, 31, spent last season on loan with Besiktas but opted against staying with the Turkish champions due to the political turmoil in the country.

 

The Germany international enjoyed a sensational renaissance period with the Black Eagles, which earned him a return to the national team for Euro 2016.

 

Gomez has put pen to paper on a three-year deal after a deal in the region of €6m (£5m) was completed between the two sides.

 

“I’m looking forward to the new challenge,” Gomez told Wolfsburg’s official website. “The discussions with [sporting director] Klaus Allofs and [head coach] Dieter Hecking were very good.

 

“I’m very happy to be returning to the Bundesliga. I’d like to play in Europe with Vfl and I’m convinced we can do so."
