BVB remain keen to re-sign the Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder but are still locked in negotiations with their Bundesliga rivals, according to club CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke.
Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke says he can imagine Mario Gotze playing for the club once again but has stressed a deal to re-sign him is still yet to be struck with Bayern Munich.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed over the weekend that the two clubs are locked in talks over a transfer involving Gotze.
Gotze, 24, caused a stir when he left Dortmund to join their Bundesliga rivals Bayern in 2013, but he has since fallen out of favour with the German champions.
But although negotiations are ongoing, Watzke insists the two parties are still some way apart from agreeing a deal.
"We can imagine Gotze returning to BVB," Watzke told TZ. "But it is not a done deal yet and no final decisions have been made yet.
"We have not reached an agreement with anyone, not with the club, nor with the player. It has to work out for us financially."
Dortmund fly out to China on Thursday for pre-season and Watzke has suggested discussions will still be taking place by then.
"Thanks to modern communication tools, we can keep working on this from China," he added. Gotze's current contract with Bayern runs until June 2017.
