El Chiringuito: Gundogan will sign for Barca in June
The Man City midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan will be a Barcelona player from June 30, according to Jose Alvarez of El Chiringuito. Despite being important for Pep Guardiola, he is set to leave on a free contract and join the Catalans.
The German, who arrived in Manchester for less than 30m euros from Borussia Dortmund is 32 and still a strong player.
He wants a new challenge and Xavi’s project appeals. The 68 times German international would play in a way that suits the club.
With four Premier Leagues in the bag, as well as various other trophies, he wants to end a successful spell at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite having the absolute confidence of Guardiola and the club, who want to keep him, Gundogan is looking elsewhere.
