Recently, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding the future of Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan. Reports have suggested that the German international is being targeted by Spanish giants Barcelona, with the Catalan club reportedly keen to add him to their star-studded squad.
Gundogan has been a key player for Manchester City since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2016. The 29-year-old has made over 150 appearances for the club, scoring 24 goals and providing 16 assists. He has been a consistent performer in the Premier League and has been a key part of Pep Guardiola’s side, helping them to win two league titles and two FA Cups.
The German international is known for his ability to control the midfield, providing a strong defensive presence as well as an attacking threat. His passing range and vision have been key for Manchester City and he has also shown his ability to score goals from midfield, with his long-range strikes becoming a trademark of his game.
It is no surprise that Barcelona are interested in signing Gundogan, as they look to strengthen their midfield options. The Catalan club have been linked with a number of players in recent months, but Gundogan is seen as one of the most attractive options due to his experience and quality.
It remains to be seen if Gundogan will make the move to Barcelona, but it is clear that he would be an excellent addition to their squad. He would bring a wealth of experience and quality to the team, and could help them challenge for major honours once again. Only time will tell if the move will happen, but it is certainly one to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
