Germany forward Mario Gomez is sitting out Bayern Munich's first two pre-season games amid ongoing speculation over a transfer to Italy's Fiorentina.
.
The former Bundesliga top scorer Gomez trained with the team during the week and sat out Saturday's and Sunday's games at lower-league teams after a meeting with new coach Pep Guardiola.
.
"Mario had a meeting with Pep Guardiola and Pep decided that Mario won't be at the weekend games," sports director Matthias Sammer said.
.
Gomez has a contract until 2016 but appears set to leave after seeing little playing time at the treble winners last season.
.
Fiorentina appear to be the top candidate to sign him, and while Gomez remains silent over the issue, the only open question is said to be the transfer fee.
Mario Gomez just have to forget about playing for Bayern Munich. It seems he would be leaving anytime soon....
