Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Gotze has a £30m release clause in his contract, according to reports in Germany.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is reportedly preparing a £30m January bid for long-term target Mario Gotze.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in German football and has reportedly attracted the interest of a host of European clubs.

Arsenal reportedly offered £32m for the 20-year-old in the summer of 2011, but the bid was rejected with the German committing his future to the club.

According to Bild, his new contract has a release clause of £30m, but with the clause expiring next summer a bid is required in January.

Bayern Munich are also known to be interested.
