Gotze has been heavily linked with Liverpool, whose manager is Jurgen Klopp, in recent weeks.
The playmaker worked with the Anfield boss during their time together at Borussia Dortmund, and is reportedly unhappy with how much time he has spent on the bench this season.
He has made seven substitute appearances for the Bavarians in this campaign, with Pep Guardiola seemingly preferring him as an impact player.
However, Bayern's sporting director Matthias Sammer has made it clear the midfielder is not leaving the club in January.
"I said it was madness when there were rumours about a transfer in January, whereas Mario was talking about the end of the season," Sammer said, according to Sky Sports.
"Mario's comments were an indication that we will have to sit down at some point in the coming months and discuss his situation.
"That is only logical. I cannot see anything negative about what Mario said. He has put a few things up for discussion.
"We will clarify everything in the second half of the season. A lot of things will have been resolved by then."
