Ilkay Gundogan’s future at Barcelona is uncertain as the club permits him to seek a transfer just one season after joining from Manchester City.
Despite being contracted for two more years, Barcelona will not hinder Gundogan’s departure if he finds a suitable move, with clubs in England, Spain, and Saudi Arabia reportedly interested.
Barcelona boss Hansi Flick, who previously managed Gundogan with the Germany national team, expressed his appreciation for the player but remained tight-lipped about their discussions, saying: “We spoke about everything, but it will stay between us.”
Barcelona’s complicated financial situation may influence Gundogan’s future, as the club struggles to register new signing Dani Olmo due to squad cost control rules and considers selling striker Vitor Roque.
The situation unfolds amidst a flurry of transfer activity, with captain Sergi Roberto’s departure and full-back Julian Araujo’s move to Bournemouth, leaving Gundogan’s future at the club hanging in the balance.
