According to Spanish journalist Lu Martin, Manchester City are willing to welcome Ilkay Gündogan back, but will not pay a transfer fee for him to Barcelona.
Lu Martin stated that Pep Guardiola will not let Gündogan down and will not stop him from returning to the Etihad Stadium. However, Manchester City’s stance is very clear, only considering a free transfer, and will not pay any transfer fee to Barcelona for him.
The 33-year-old Gündogan joined Barcelona on a free transfer last summer, making a total of 51 appearances for the club, scoring 5 goals and providing 14 assists. Due to Barcelona’s financial situation still being unsatisfactory this summer, with the club failing to register all first-team players, management hopes that Gündogan, who has only been with the team for one year, will leave.
