FC Barcelona is already working on its planning for the next summer market and one of the names it has in its folder is Gündogan, a player who will be released on July 1

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The director of football of the FC Barcelona, Mateu Alemany, denied, for now, the contacts for fichar to Ilkay Gündogan for this next summer like free footballer. This Thursday had informed that the Barcelona club had had a meeting with the surroundings of the footballer to try direct an agreement with the footballer that is not by the work to renew with the Manchester City.

However, and although it recognised that they had gathered with the uncle of the footballer, that is agent, explained that the 'summit' had another reason. "My obligation is to know that Gündogan is free and yes have gathered us with his uncle, that is the agent of Christensen. We have spoken of Christensen, of his performance and of the happy that are with the footballer. It has been a very good signing, but there is not at all more", commented.

For 'Movistar' and in the previous of the crash between the Barça and the Manchester United, the director wanted to resolve any doubt, although it does not leave to be a reality that the mediocampista German is a possibility to reinforce to the culés the next season. With Busquets renewing his agreement or no, a footballer of his level being 'free' always is a big possibility.

Important subjects

Equally Alemany took the time to speak of the actuality of the Barcelona entity and did not want to go in in the controversy by the payments to Enríquez Negreira. "The club already did a communiqué on this subject and remit me to him. There is not at all more than saying. The team has to be centred in what has by in front and at all more", signalled.

On the team and the eleven headline of Xavi in front of the English, Mateu commented that "I understand that there are rotations because it is necessary to have a lot of care with the calendar this season after the dispute of the World-wide". The Director of Football signalled that "they are a lot of parties and luckily have sufficient staff to face all the parties with the maximum security".
