Ilkay Gundogan transfer to Manchester City is set to be officially announced, with the German midfielder already knowing where he will play next season. Gundogan is expected to finalize his move to Manchester City on Thursday, as he has agreed to waive the money Barcelona owes him to break his contract.
Barcelona, facing significant economic challenges, has decided to part ways with one of their standout players from last season. The club’s financial constraints, particularly in registering new players, have forced Gundogan’s departure to the Premier League.
At Manchester City, Gundogan will reunite with his former teammates. It has been only a year since he left the club at the end of his contract, and now he is returning to the Sky Blues.
Any doubts about Gundogan’s return to Manchester City were cleared on Wednesday night when he was seen dining with the manager in a restaurant in the city. This meeting confirmed the inevitable.
On Thursday, Ilkay Gundogan transfer is set to be completed by officially rejoining Manchester City, making his departure from Barcelona seem like a temporary loan. Meanwhile, Barcelona is closely monitoring the situation as they aim to register Dani Olmo in time for Saturday’s match against Athletic Club.
