Ilkay Gündogan, a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for La Liga club Barcelona, is set to return to the English Premier League this summer. Gündogan left Manchester City last June after spending seven seasons at the Etihad Stadium.
The 33-year-old midfielder signed a three-year contract with the Spanish giants, but the player has been informed that Barcelona will not stand in his way if he finds a suitable move.
Earlier this week, Manchester City head coach and manager Pep Guardiola approved Ilkay Gündogan’s return to Manchester City.
According to Fabrizio Romano’s latest transfer news updates, newsreportzim.com has learned that Gündogan would rejoin Manchester City from Barcelona on a free transfer.
“Contacts between Ilkay Gündogan’s camp and Manchester City on Tuesday have been positive with all parties optimistic.
Gündogan would join for free from Barça, NO transfer fee. Final green light up to Gündo, as Pep already said yes,” the update reads.
