Supporters at Signal Iduna Park having reacted strongly against the notion of a reunion with their former youth product, who has struggled since moving to Bayern Munich

Mario Gotze has been linked with a return to Borussia Dortmund but a section of supporters left the club's hierarchy in doubt as to their thoughts on a potential move with an unflattering banner in Saturday's 3-2 win over Werder Bremen.

Gotze, who came through Dortmund's youth academy, controversially joined rivals Bayern Munich in 2013 after the Bavarian club triggered a reported €37 million release clause.

The Germany international has made a limited impact since moving to Bavaria, with injury hampering his form in 2015-16 and limiting him to just three appearances since the start of October for the Bundesliga champions.

Reports have linked World Cup winner Gotze with a move to Real Madrid, Milan and Liverpool in the close-season, but Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke recently stated that the club has left the door open for a return to Signal Iduna Park.

However, some Dortmund fans are not so keen on a Gotze reunion, unfurling a banner that read: "Milan or Madrid - the main thing is not Dortmund! P*** off Gotze."
