Ilkay Gundogan’s future at FC Barcelona is hanging by a thread. Although he wants to continue his adventure with the Blaugranas, the German midfielder could be a victim of the Catalan club’s precarious financial situation.
Barça, who recently completed the transfer of Dani Olmo from Leipzig, are forced to reduce their wage bill before they can register the European champion. In this context, Gundogan finds himself at the heart of speculation announcing him close to a departure from Catalonia.
Gundogan resigns himself
According to the Chain Ser,
The Culés management would be ready to part ways with the captain of the Mannschaft and would push in this direction. According to
Catalonia Radio, The Ruhr native is said to have started to come to terms with the idea and has resumed contact with his former club, Manchester City, to discuss a possible return to the Etihad Stadium.
The Spanish media outlet reports that the discussions between the two parties are positive, making a return of Gundogan to City, just a year after his departure, an increasingly serious option.
