According to the Tasnim news agency, Sport Catalonia announced that Ilkay Gundogan is on the verge of signing a contract with Barcelona.
According to this news; The German midfielder of Manchester City wants to finish his playing career in the English Premier League and start a new experience in the Spanish La Liga, despite the insistence of this club to stay and Arsenal’s desire to recruit him, and for this reason, he has given the green light to Barcelona.
Apparently, Barca’s offer to the Turkish player is a three-year contract, and despite the player’s initial agreement, nothing is official yet. He is holding off on officially confirming his departure from Manchester City until his side’s fate is decided in the Champions League final, which takes place on Saturday two weeks from now.
The 32-year-old Gundogan, who joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in 2016, has a contract with the English Premier League champions until the end of this season, after which he will be a free agent. Therefore, his recruitment will not be expensive for Barcelona, and this has caused the Catalans to do their best to recruit this veteran midfielder.
