It is revealed that Manchester City captain Gundogan may switch to Barcelona this summer as a free agent


According to reports, the 32-year-old midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, who is currently the captain of Manchester City in the Premier League , will leave the team as a free agent in this summer's transfer window and join La Liga leader Barcelona.


One of the best midfielders in the Premier League and Manchester City contract expires


Gundogan has been a key player for Manchester City since his transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2016 and is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. With the departure of 37-year-old midfielder Fernandinho in the transfer window last summer, Gundogan also won the trust of coach Pep Guardiola and was promoted to captain of Manchester City.


So far, the Manchester City captain from Germany has played more than 270 games for Manchester City, contributing 51 goals and 35 assists. During this period, he also helped Manchester City win 4 English League Cups and Premier League titles, 2 English Community Shield titles and the FA Cup title.


However, the contract period between Gundogan and Manchester City is approaching, but the two parties have not yet formally negotiated a new contract extension. This situation has also attracted the attention of Barcelona.

Busquets may leave Barcelona to strengthen lineup


Uncertainty has been created over Barcelona's future with midfielder Sergio Busquets, 34, in the twilight of his career. In addition, the 26-year-old midfielder Frank Casey may also leave the team this summer. This forces Barcelona to enter the midfield market to find suitable candidates to strengthen the lineup. Gundogan, who can play different roles on the court, is an ideal candidate for Barcelona.

It is rumored that Manchester City and Gundogan are about to sign a new contract


However, recent reports have pointed out that Manchester City is close to agreeing to sign a new contract with Gundogan, which also makes Barcelona less interested in signing Gundogan.


However, there is also news that Gundogan is about to move to Barcelona on a free transfer in this summer's transfer window. Regardless of whether the news materializes or not, the free signing of this experienced midfielder will definitely benefit Barcelona, which is facing financial problems.
