Gomez signs on till 2016
Bayern Munich's Mario Gomez has extended his contract by three years to 2016 the day after his club booked a place in the Champions League semifinals, the forward said on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old, who was Bundesliga top scorer last season and jointly leads this season's charts with 23 goals, has been in fine form, also netting 11 times in the Champions League.
"I have always said Bayern are a great club, I feel well here and I see the best sporting prospects," Gomez said in a statement.
Bayern, chasing a treble of domestic and European trophies, beat Olympique Marseille 2-0 in their Champions League quarterfinal second leg on Tuesday to win 4-0 on aggregate.
Gomez became the most expensive transfer in Bundesliga history when he joined Bayern in 2009 for what is still a record sum of 35 million euros ($46.69 million).
