Transfers Barcelona: Gundogan escapes

He Manchester City has offered a new renewal offer to the German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan to ensure his continuity in the team. according to account Fabrizio Romano, initially he was offered a contract for one more year, with the option of another additional year in the ‘1+1’ formula. However the FC Barcelona lured the player with a ‘2+1’ offer, which complicated negotiations. Despite Barcelona’s efforts to convince Gundogan, financial problems and doubts about his registration in La Liga made the operation difficult. Finally, Manchester City matched Barça’s offer and everything indicates that they will not move from the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola has been key for this situation to occur since he has never thrown in the towel and has spoken on many occasions with the board of directors and the player to try to get the positions closer. This news has been enthusiastically received by the team’s fans as the German midfielder’s season has been impressive and they feared losing him. His presence in midfield has been vital to the team’s success under Pep Guardiola. Gundogan’s renewal brings stability and confidence to the team, both in the Premier League and in European competitions.

It is key for Guardiola

Manchester City have invested large sums of money to build an elite team and the signing of Gundogan shows their determination to retain their key players. It should be noted that Gündogan’s renewal has not yet been officially closed, but the truth is that everything seems to indicate that he will continue at the Etihad Stadium and will shelve his transfer to Barcelona. It is expected that the German will continue to be a fundamental piece in the search for titles and in maintaining the success of Manchester City in European football. His ability, tactical intelligence and goalscoring ability will be crucial for the team in the coming season and beyond.
