About Mario Götze
German professional footballer Mario Götze was born on June 3, 1992, and his estimated net worth is $55 million. PSV Eindhoven, an Eredivisie team, is where Götze plays. Götze has played as a false nine or an emergency striker in addition to his preferred role as a playmaker.
In the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund’s comeback under manager Jürgen Klopp coincided with attacking midfielder Mario Götze’s breakout.
The German’s goals and assists were essential to Dortmund’s 2010–2011 and 2011–2012 league championship seasons.
The formative years
Götze was born into a footballing family; his older brother Fabian plays for VfL Bochum and his younger brother Felix is a player for Dortmund. At the age of eight, Götze joined Dortmund’s youth program.
The elusive midfielder made his Bundesliga debut in November 2009 in a goalless draw with Mainz 05. He went on to make five appearances that season, but it was the following year that he truly cemented his spot in the squad.
Winner of two titles
In Dortmund’s 2010–2011 championship-winning season, Götze made 33 appearances and registered six goals and 11 assists.
The following season, Dortmund successfully defended their Bundesliga title, and Götze once again shone despite suffering a significant hip injury.
He was only able to make 14 starts due to the injury he sustained in January, but he still managed to contribute five goals and six assists as Dortmund won their fifth Bundesliga championship by eight points over Bayern Munich.
He made a comeback from an injury toward the end of the campaign, but Dortmund won the double by defeating Bayern 5-2 in the DFB-Pokal Cup final without using him as a substitute.
The championship game
Götze came off the bench to score the game-winning goal as Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 to begin their pursuit of a third consecutive league championship.
As Bayern stormed ahead and set multiple records on route to winning the league, the 2012–2013 season didn’t turn out as well for BvB as the previous two.
Dortmund managed to escape the Group of Death in the Champions League and overcome Real Madrid in the semi-final to earn a spot in the Wembley final, but the season pushed Dortmund and their abundance of young, offensive players to more attention.
In the campaign, Götze was outstanding, contributing five assists and scoring twice as they advanced to the championship game against Bayern Munich.
Before the two clubs faced off in the Champions League final, it was revealed that the offensive midfielder had agreed to a transfer to Bayern for a German record fee of US$48.21 (€37 million). This served as additional fuel to the fire.
Injuries prevented Götze from competing in the championship game, which Bayern won 2-1 on the strength of a late Arjen Robben goal that opened the door for an unprecedented triple.
Worldwide Career
In a 0-0 tie against Sweden in November 2010, just one year after making his professional debut, Götze took the place of clubmate Kevin Großkreutz to earn his first international cap.
Following Germany’s failure to win the 2012 European Championship, the midfielder started to firmly establish his position in the national team during the 2012–13 campaign, playing in seven international games and tallying five goals.
Mario Götze has a bright future in the game and has been compared to Lionel Messi by Franz Beckenbauer as having “the same assets as him.”
In 2010, at the young age of 18, Götze was initially chosen for the German national football team. Mario Götze’s net worth is projected to be $55 million as of 2023. He scored the game-winning goal in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final in that year.
