According to Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, Fenerbahçe is preparing to make an official approach to Barcelona for İlkay Gündogan.
This summer, Barcelona remains financially strained and thus is very keen on raising funds through player sales. Players like Ansu Fati, Frenkie de Jong, and Ronald Araújo are suitable candidates for sale, but all three have suffered injuries, making their transfer more challenging. Now, other teams have set their sights on İlkay Gündogan.
Gündogan was one of the standout performers for Barcelona last season, but he may struggle to secure a consistent starting spot in the 2024/25 season. As such, the club is deliberating over Gündogan’s future at Barcelona. This has presented other teams with a rare opportunity to make a move.
According to Mundo Deportivo citing Turkish media Spor Arena, Fenerbahçe is preparing to pursue Gündogan seriously. Even this plan has received the approval of Fenerbahçe’s manager José Mourinho.
However, Gündogan is one of the few dressing room leaders within the current Barcelona squad. Considering his age, the transfer fee he would command would not be particularly high. Is letting go of Gündogan really the right decision?
