Germany forward Mario Gomez returns to Stuttgart

STUTTGART, Germany (AP) – Germany forward Mario Gomez is returning to Stuttgart, where he won the 2007 Bundesliga title, from rival Wolfsburg.

Stuttgart says the 32-year-old Gomez will sign a contract through 2020.

Gomez started his career in Stuttgart’s youth team. He made his Germany debut in 2007 while playing for the club, then played for Bayern Munich, Fiorentina and Besiktas before joining Wolfsburg in 2016.

Gomez says he is “very happy to be back home, where everything began for me,” and promised to “give everything” to keep Stuttgart in the top flight.

Promoted Stuttgart went into the winter break in 14th place in the 18-team Bundesliga, two points clear of the relegation zone.

News agency dpa reported that the transfer fee was more than 3 million euros ($3.5 million).
