Borussia Dortmund have reportedly agreed a fee with Bayern Munich to bring midfielder Mario Gotze back to the Westfalenstadion.
The 24-year-old came through the ranks at Dortmund before controversially moving to the Allianz Arena in 2013 after Bayern triggered his release clause.
Gotze has failed to establish himself as a first-team regular at Bayern, though, and the World Cup winner has been frequently linked with a move back to Dortmund this summer.
The likes of Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have also been credited with an interest in the Germany international, but Bild reports that Dortmund have now agreed a £19m fee with Bayern ahead of the move.
Gotze scored 31 goals in 116 appearances during his first spell at Dortmund, and has found the back of the net 36 times in 114 games for Bayern.
