Barcelona is striving to reclaim its former glory this season under the guidance of German coach Hans Flick, following a challenging period under previous coach Xavi Hernandez. The club is actively seeking new signings to bolster the team and pursue titles. However, an unexpected development has occurred with the team’s star, Ilkay Gundogan, expressing a desire to leave this summer.
Reports from Spanish media indicate that Gundogan has requested to leave Barcelona and has initiated talks with Manchester City for a potential return. The English club is considering the possibility of bringing Gundogan back, and Barcelona is open to his departure to adjust their salary structure and benefit financially.
Despite Hans Flick’s efforts to persuade Gundogan to stay, the German midfielder remains inclined to leave, especially with interest from Saudi clubs and Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho.
