This is a big bombshell that the Catalan daily has just revealed Sport this Saturday night. Just a few hours before the start of FC Barcelona’s season in La Liga against Valencia, the Spanish media announces that Ilkay Gündogan has asked to leave the club. He has just informed his management. On bad terms with the latter for a few weeks, the German international wants to leave Barça, which had already explained that a big sale was perhaps necessary to rebalance the club’s finances and register the recruits in La Liga.
In the last few hours, Ilkay Gündogan was withdrawn from the squad that will travel to Valencia for this match due to an injury according to the club. But the player has clearly agreed to leave this summer, which should allow Barça to recover some money. For several weeks, his name has been associated with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. It remains to be seen how this will end up. In any case, the former City player has already informed Hansi Flick and Deco, sporting director.
