A return to Manchester City is on the cards for the 33-year-old midfielder, who only joined the Catalan side last summer.
Barcelona are desperate to get rid of Gundogan’s salary, which is why they have been looking to sell him before the transfer window closes in 10 days. The situation has evolved very quickly, and it was only on Saturday that Hansi Flick said he expected his fellow German to move on.
Kroos surprised by Gundogan case
Many people have expressed their shock at Gundogan’s imminent departure from FC Barcelona, and one of them is Toni Kroos, his former international teammate. Kroos took to social media to express his surprise at the news.
This is a very surprising turn of events with Gundogan, but it underlines just how bad Barcelona’s financial situation is. It’s entirely possible that Dani Olmo won’t be able to register with his midfield teammate leaving the club.
