FC Barcelona finds itself in a delicate situation regarding the signing of Dani Olmo. This summer, the Catalan club finalized the transfer of the Spanish international from Leipzig for a fee of 60 million euros, including bonuses. However, in order to register its new recruit, the Blaugrana management is forced to sell a player, a measure also necessary to recover essential cash. This sale could concern one of the team’s key players.
Among the players potentially on the way out, the name of Ilkay Gundogan has been circulating insistently. Having arrived freely at Barça just a year ago from Manchester City, the German midfielder has quickly been at the centre of transfer rumours. Some have even suggested that he wants to leave Catalonia after just one season in the Blaugrana jersey.
Gundogan sacrificed on the altar of finance?
However, according to information relayed by the Spanish press, and in particular by the Chain Serthe reality would be very different. Journalist Santi Gimenez claims that Gundogan has no intention of leaving the Camp Nou, despite speculation about a possible departure.
Despite this desire stated by the 33-year-old player, the Culés seem to be considering another outcome. Indeed, the management would push for the departure of Gundogan, whose contract runs until June 2025. A divergence of views between the two parties which could therefore be a point of tension in the coming weeks.
