On Tuesday morning, we covered claims from today’s Catalan and general Spanish newspaper which stated Ilkay Gundogan had accepted the idea of a Barcelona exit and quite fancied the idea of a return to Manchester City.
The Blaugrana still haven’t been able to register all their players this summer and are in a rush to ship people out so they can make room and convince La Liga to allow further registrations.
Quickly after, it was reported that Pep Guardiola had given his approval to the midfielder’s surprise return and a transfer was ‘imminent’.
Right now it doesn’t even feel like a quest for what is best for the pitch, but rather what makes those sweet player registrations possible.
Gerard Romero reports Gundogan wasn’t in training on Tuesday, which is seen as a huge sign he’s returning to Manchester City, and his agent is said to already be in the English city.
