With Manchester City’s season now coming to an end, it’s time for the rumours about Ikay Gundogan to come back with full force.
Just hours after the midfielder captained Pep Guardiola’s side in the Champions League final, Catalan outlet Sport features a story claiming Barcelona are ‘waiting him with open arms’.
As Gundogan’s contract with Manchester City expires in the coming weeks, it’s claimed that the La Liga giants are waiting for the ‘new challenge’ he can have at their club, as he ‘should turn into’ one of the great signings they’ll make this summer.
Their story details how the midfielder’s performance against Inter Milan was average, pointing out that it wasn’t his ‘most brilliant’ display, but still enough to help the English have ‘consistency’.
Highlighting that Gundogan now has a ‘free hand’ to join Barcelona as a free agent, Sport don’t bring big developments on his negotiations with the Spanish clubs, as the 32-year-old was obviously focused on something else.Talks for his move to the Camp Nou should now get more intense, especially because after Manchester City’s treble, he refused to make his plans clear.
