# Ex-Dortmund teammate says Gotze should join Liverpool

Former Borussia Dortmund defender Kevin Grosskreutz has urged Mario Gotze to join Liverpool in a move that could get his career back on track, according to a report from [Sky Sports.](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11881/11506478/mario-gotze-could-rebuild-career-at-liverpool-says-kevin-grosskreutz)

Grosskreutz believes that a move to Anfield could bring the best out of the World Cup winner, who has struggled since re-joining Borussia Dortmund from Bayern Munich.

Gotze has been hampered with injuries and illnesses that have seen his development as a player stall.

> Maybe it would be good for him to go abroad in the winter to find a bit more peace and bring his career back on track. Klopp knows him quite well, he would be a good fit for Liverpool.

[German outlet Kicker claim](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/liverpool-non-solo-zielinski-klopp-vuole-un-suo-ex-pupillo-37626) that Klopp could move for the player in January. Gotze is said to be among a list of potential targets for the Reds boss.

The 26-year-old has spoken his desire to work with Jurgen Klopp previously. They were successful in their time together at Dortmund, before the attacker left for Bayern Munich.

As reported by [Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/979415/Liverpool-transfer-news-Jurgen-Klopp-Mario-Gotze-Borussia-Dortmund-twist-gossip), Gotze was quoted in the summer saying:

> And I was also interested in working with him again. He is a world-class coach and that’s why it’s always an option. I decided to join Borussia Dortmund (from Bayern), but it was not a decision against Liverpool or Jurgen Klopp.
