Bayern Munich were surprised by the decision of Mario Gotze to stay with the club this summer.

Gotze is entering the final 12 months of his Bayern contract and has been linked with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

Gotze has had a difficult three-year spell with Bayern under Pep Guardiola, but he's said he is looking forward to playing for Carlo Ancelotti.

Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has urged Gotze to reconsider his stance.

"We made everything clear to Mario," he said. "He knows what the club thinks and he knows what the future coach thinks."

Rummenigge said Gotze will see little playing time.
