Experienced German Ilkay Gundogan will leave the English champions as a free agent.
Among the European football giants, a tough match is unfolding for Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan. The fact is that this summer the German will be a free agent, and therefore can get someone completely free.
The Citizens want to keep the 32-year-old midfielder, but he wants a multi-year contract, while the club is ready to give him only one year. Therefore, most likely, the German will not stay in Manchester.
They want to give the midfielder what they want at Arsenal. According to Bild, the Gunners will try to convince Gundogan to follow the example of Alexander Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus and move to the Emirates.
The good relationship between Gundogan and Mikel Arteta should also play a role. Gundogan needs to strengthen the midfield, which will be weakened by the departure of Granita Xhaka to Leverkusen.
In this regard, the publication Sport claims that the German midfielder will move to Barcelona. In Catalonia, Gundogan was offered a contract for a longer period, namely for three years, albeit with a lower salary. And that’s exactly what the player wants.
We remind, earlier it was known that Arsenal after the failure in the title race in the Premier League will organize the sale of their players in the summer.
