Ilkay Gundogan Bids Farewell to Barcelona as He Prepares for Manchester City Return

Ilkay Gundogan has announced his departure from Barcelona, set to return to Manchester City after just one season with the Catalan club. The 33-year-old midfielder, who initially joined Barcelona on a two-year contract with a third year contingent on appearances, will now move back to his former club on a one-year deal, with the transfer being a free move.

Gundogan’s exit is partly a strategic move by Barcelona to address their salary cap issues. The club has been grappling with financial constraints and reducing their wage bill has become a priority. Additionally, manager Hansi Flick informed Gundogan that his playing time might be limited this season due to the presence of Pedri, Dani Olmo, and Fermin Lopez, who are also strong contenders for his preferred position.

Despite a challenging season, Gundogan made a significant impact at Barcelona. He concluded the campaign as the team’s top assist-provider, contributing 14 assists, and also scored five goals. His versatility and reliability saw him as a key figure in Xavi Hernandez’s squad, making a total of 51 appearances across all competitions.

 

 

 

Gundogan took to Instagram to express his gratitude and bid farewell to Barcelona fans. His message reflected his appreciation for the support he received during his stint at the club. As he prepares to rejoin Manchester City, Gundogan will be looking to continue his successful career under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.
