Mourinho is ready to 'save' Barcelona. The Portuguese coach wants to have a player from the Blaugrana club in his ranks and his departure would leave a lot of money in the coffers of the team from the Ciudad Condal, with which they could sign Dani Olmo. We are talking about Ilkay Gündogan, the German who is already working under the orders of Hansi Flick.
The former Manchester City player hopes to face his second season in the Spanish team. The former Manchester City player hopes to face his second season in the Spanish team. His first year was quite good, so he wants to continue growing as a player with a coach he already knows well from his time in the German national team. It is expected that in the next few days 'Gundo' will have a chat with Flick to share impressions and learn about his new role in the team.
However, his future remains uncertain. From Turkey there have been reports that indicate that Fenerbahce would be interested in acquiring his services. Ilkay has Turkish origins and has said on more than one occasion that he wants to play in the Ottoman country. Galatasaray have already asked about him, although there is another club that could be willing to make an offer to the Barça board to take him this summer.
Mourinho wants Gündogan in Turkey
According to information from 'Spor Arena', Mourinho has expressly asked the club's directors to make an effort to sign the German midfielder, who would give the club a great leap in quality. The Portuguese is "very keen" to see him in Turkey, especially after the injury of the Brazilian, Fred. The president of the Istanbul team has already started negotiations, although they are not advanced and are not expected to be easy either. The truth is that Barcelona would greatly benefit if they manage to get rid of him, because he has an estimated value of 15 million euros according to 'Transfermarkt'.
