FC Barcelona is immersed in a complicated situation regarding the registration of new players for the next season in LaLiga. Faced with this uncertainty, midfielder Ilkay Gündogan has decided to take precautions and has included a secret clause in his contract with the Catalan club.
Gundogan, aware of the possibility that Barcelona may not be able to meet the registration requirements in LaLiga, has expressly requested this clause to protect himself. Despite having the guarantees from the club, the player has considered that it is better to leave everything in writing and establish a deadline for registration.

The secret clause that Gundogan has in his contract with FC Barcelona
According to this clause, Barcelona has a deadline to achieve the registration of the footballer in LaLiga until the first day that the blaugrana play. Although the intention is to resolve this situation before July 1, the German-Turkish player reserves the right to obtain the letter of freedom if Barcelona fails to register him before the start of the season.
This measure adopted by Gündogan demonstrates his concern to avoid situations similar to those experienced in the past, such as the case of Jules Koundé, when the board had to guarantee that the player could be registered. The midfielder does not want to take risks and prefers to make sure that he will be able to play without problems in LaLiga.
Barcelona, for its part, is working hard to solve the problems that prevent it from meeting the registration requirements. The idea is to use a surplus destined for the arrival of Lionel Messi, and which has been agreed with the employers’ association, to ensure the incorporation of the talented midfielder.
