Joachim Low admits his surprise about the timing of Mario Gotze's move from Borussia Dortmund to Bayern Munich.

Germany coach Joachim Low has admitted that the timing of Mario Gotze's move to Bayern Munich came as a surprise to him.

The deal was officially announced just a day before Borussia Dortmund's Champions League semi-final first leg with Real Madrid.

"I was not surprised that a player is going to Bayern Munich," Low told Sky Sport Germany.

"This is a top destination in the league, and I'm glad that Mario will remain in the Bundesliga.

"However, the timing of the announcement surprised me and I think that it was very questionable."

Dortmund have already relinquished their Bundesliga title to Bayern this season.
