The clause Gündogan has included in his contract to sign for Barcelona
The Germany is wary of Barça's money woes and wants to cover his back
Ilkay Gündogan's Barcelona contract includes a clause that the player has expressly requested to cover his back in the event that they cannot fulfill his registration in LaLiga. Despite having the guarantees from the club, Ilkay has considered that it is better to have everything in writing.
The point of the text that both parties will sign assures that the club has a deadline to achieve the inscription of the footballer with LaLiga: the first match day that the Blaugrana play. That is the limit that the club has, although the intention is that everything will be sorted out by 1 July, as they have assured him. The idea, in fact, is to use a remainder provided for the arrival of Leo Messi and agreed with LaLiga for the German international.
In any case, Gündogan, in the same clause, reserves the right to be released if Barça do not manage to register him before the first league game. He does not want the same thing to happen to him as happened with Jules Koundé, when the board had to put up a guarantee so he could be registered.
