Barcelona Star İlkay Gündoğan Reportedly Exploring Manchester City Return
Ilkay Gündoğan, the German international midfielder, is reportedly exploring the possibility of returning to Premier League champions Manchester City. This news comes despite being under contract with Barcelona until June next year, with many close to the star assuring that he has no intention of leaving.
The speculation surrounding Gündoğan’s omission from Barcelona’s squad for their La Liga opener against Valencia has led to numerous rumors about a potential transfer. Mundo Deportivo, quoting the Catalan program TDT, has revealed that the midfielder is currently weighing up the option of returning to Manchester City.
Gündoğan’s absence from the Barcelona squad has sparked a flurry of speculation, with some outlets suggesting that a transfer could be in the works. However, the more likely reason for his omission is a blow to the head he received in a pre-season friendly against Monaco.
For now, fans will have to keep track of the situation to see if these rumors go anywhere. Plenty of eyes will be on Barcelona’s fixture next weekend against Athletic Club, to see if the German midfielder reappears in Hansi Flick’s squad.
