Ilkay Gundogan is likely to return to Manchester City after the German midfielder declared that he “wants an immediate return” to the Etihad.
The player says that Barcelona FC has kept him out, so he wants to get back to his best at the Etihad.
After moving to Barcelona last summer after a glittering campaign with Pep Guardiola’s teams that saw him win a historic treble, the Barcelona has not been “functional.”
When Gundogan left the Etihad after seven years, he agreed to a two-year contract. On the other hand, he is currently in the last year of his contract.
After being left out of the squad for their 2-1 victory over Valencia, the German international has reportedly informed the club that he wants to leave the LaLiga heavyweights.
Additionally, a return to Manchester might be his preferred destination. In fact, it has been reported that Pep Guardiola is “open” to reuniting with his former steadfast midfielder.
Gundogan played for City for seven seasons and won 14 trophies.
The 33-year-old has had a difficult time at the Spanish giants, playing 51 games and only scoring five goals. He also had his first trophy-less season in seven years.
Sergi Roberto Says A Big Farewell To FC Barcelona
Dani Olmo, a star player for Euro 2024, has joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig to fill the same position as the former City player.
The midfielder is said to have told the coaching staff that he has had “enough” and is hoping that everyone can help him leave the team.
On the other hand, a report claims that Mourinho is also eager to sign Gundogan for Fenerbahce and is willing to go to any lengths to do so.
