Ilkay Gundogan (32, Manchester City) moves to Barcelona.
The British ‘Daily Mail’ quoted Spain’s ‘Mundo Deportivo’ on the 9th (Korean time) and reported, “Barcelona plans to announce the signing of Gundogan after the Champions League final.”
“The Manchester City captain will join Barcelona next week. Man City want to keep Gundogan, but the player is likely to move to Barcelona with the most attractive option, a three-year contract,” he added.
German national midfielder Gundogan left Dortmund for Manchester City in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee of 27 million euros (approximately 37.5 billion won). Since then, he has played a steady role, and played a role as a licorice in Man City’s golden age.
records prove it. Gündoan played the ground for 7 seasons until the 2022-23 season, scoring 60 goals and 40 assists in 303 games. In addition, with Manchester City, he won the English Premier League (EPL) 5 times, the English FA Cup 2 times, the English Football League Cup (EFL Cup) 4 times, and the FA Community Shield 2 times. This season, he is leading Man City as captain.
Gundogan signed the last renewal contract in August 2019, and it will expire on June 30th. In January, as news of contract renewal negotiations became known, it was thought that he would remain, but nothing has been made official so far. In the meantime, he was connected to Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.메이저사이트
According to Mundo Deportivo, Gundoan is believed to have chosen Barcelona in the end. What Gundogan considered important was the contract period. Among them, Barcelona pushed out the longest three years. Other clubs, including Manchester City, are said to have offered two years.
Some rumors also leaked that Gün Doan had also cut his weekly wage in order to sign a three-year contract with Barcelona. He valued the length of his contract as it could be the last club in his career.
Under the assumption that Gundogan moves to Barcelona, the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) final against Inter Milan on the 11th will be the last game in Man City. A ‘big year’ is a long-standing dream for Manchester City. If you win the championship cup, you can mark the end of a beautiful breakup.
