The German midfielder officially returns to the Skyblues after a season spent at Barça. He arrives for free at the English champion.
“I’m incredibly happy. Happy to see the team-mates, the staff, people with whom I had great times during these seven years, very successful times. Many ups, some downs, but overall, an incredible experience. When you leave this place like I did last year, you spend a year away from this place, and then you start to appreciate it even more. You realise what you had. You realise how incredible this period was. You realise how big the club is – the best club in the world,” he said on the official website of the Manchester club.
Gundogan wants to win titles
Ilkay Gundogan has won everything he has won at club level, including at Man City. But the midfielder is still hungry for titles and trophies. “I still want to prove myself every day, in training sessions and games, and become the best possible version of myself. I still have an incredible sense of winning, of competing and I think the package you have here, today, you can’t find anywhere else, and that made it very, very easy for me to come back.”
