Manchester City on negotiations to sign spectacular Barcelona midfield player

Ilkay Gundogan may be leaving Catalonia a little more than a year after arriving, since Barcelona has made it obvious to him that he is not a major part of their plans for the upcoming season. There were links to a number of options when it was announced on Monday that Gundogan had given his agents permission to search for a new club.

Barcelona has reportedly contacted Manchester City, their previous team, about a spectacular comeback, according to Fabrizio Romano. In addition, Gundogan has received proposals from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Galatasaray has also been connected to the 33-year-old, but they will only pursue a free transfer.

Gundogan was informed by the Barcelona coach that he would not be a starter under him, according to MD, despite manager Hansi Flick stating over the weekend that he thought his countryman would stay. Diario AS has confirmed this, stating that Flick feels it is impossible for Ilkay Gundogan and Robert Lewandowski to remain on the team at the same moment if he is to maintain his aggressive press.
