The midfielder of Manchester City, Ilkay Gundogan sale could be possible.
Gundogan signed a one -year deal when he left Barcelona to return to the city after a free transfer.
However, a 12-month extension clause in this deal was triggered, which instead pursues the contractual penalty by summer 2026. Despite this security, the city manager had not yet excluded any further separation: “What will happen, I don’t know.”
But now Sky Sport in Germany Florian Plettenberg has reported that Gundogan intends to honor the rest of the contract in Manchester. He has “no plans” to either leave the club or to withdraw from professional football as a whole.
The 34-year-old is interested in other clubs. The identity of such freelancers is not known, although the Saudi Pro league would be an obvious option. The super league would be another, in the middle of the left in the past few months with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray and the Turkish heritage of his family.
Gundogan initially left City a new challenge in 2023 from the back of the club’s captain to a historical heights. Even older he was still 22 games of the Premier League this season and achieved a total of 45 appearances and counted all competitions in relation to all competitions.
But a squad has already been rebuilt in the city, with Kevin de Bruyne’s upcoming summer departure being confirmed after not offering a new contract, and Bernardo Silva was also connected to Boyhood Club Benfica. Nico Gonzalez arrived in January to start the midfield overhaul. Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz is another serious destination in the middle of the ongoing connections to Morgan Gibbs-White, Bruno Guimaraes and Hugo Larsson.
