Signing for Barcelona in the summer after his contract at Manchester City ran out, Ilkay Gündogan is already thinking about the future.
Despite playing in all of Barcelona’s game in La Liga and the Champions League to date, the midfielder wants to sign for Galatasaray.
That’s according to Sportcell journalist Burhan Can Terzi, who revealed what the former Manchester City midfielder told his agent.
This happened after the recent game between Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, when the Turkish club ‘held a meeting’ with the player.
Following said encounter, it’s added that the player called his agent and told him: “I am approaching the end of my football career. I don’t want to leave football without wearing the Galatasaray shirt.”
That will come as a surprise to many, considering how much he has played for Barcelona, but it seems that all has not been roses and rainbows for the player after his exit from Manchester City.
As you might recall, we covered an article a few weeks ago where it was stated that Gundogan ‘expected more’ from Barcelona, and this could be why he is now eyeing up a move to Galatasaray just a few months after his arrival.
