Calendar of FC Barcelona

To the FC Barcelona can present him a very similar case to the return fallido of Leo Messi with the signing of İlkay Gündogan. As it has confirmed 'SPORT', the international German left clear after the final of the Champions that, although his wish is to dress the T-shirt culé, can finish renewing with the Manchester City or, in his defect, sign an agreement multimillionaire with the To the Hilal Saudi to the not having a formal negotiation with the Barça.

"I want to go to the Barcelona, but have not received still any offer", would have said the footballer to his surroundings after winning the 'orejona' with the City. From it does several weeks, the press filtered the agreement that the Barça prepared to the international German (three years at a rate of some 9 million net euros to the year), but the problems of the club with the Fair Play financial have avoided that the managerial formalise the offer.

Gündogan Warns to the Barça: Or they go already to by him or signature with another club

"I want to go to the Barça… but think that will finish remaining me with Pep or in the To the Hilal", added Ílkay in the talk filtered by 'SPORT'. The City would have equalised the three years of agreement that will offer him the Barça, with a higher wage (some 15 'kilos' net to the year). The one of Gelsenkirchen was determinant for the obtaining of the first triplete of the history for the 'cityzens', by which neither the technical body neither the directive resignan to lose him.

By his part, the To the Hilal neither has presented a formal offer to the mediocentro by what, to these heights, the ones of Pep Guardiola have advantage to retain him. This yes, the Saudi offer will be very high, very similar to the agreement that signed Karim Benzema with To the Ittihad (100 'kilos' net to the year by two seasons more one optional). The first approach between Gündogan and To the Hilal could concretise this week, once the player go out on holiday.

The doubts of Gündogan can separate him of the Barça

In this way, the Barça begins to remain without time to go to by Ílkay, one of the 'bargains' that offers the European market. The player of 32 years finish agreement on 30 June, but does not want to expect much more to define his future and, with offers solider and concrete on the table, the wish to play in Barcelona dissipates by the financial problems culés. The market veraniego recently begins, but the patience, as it remained clear with Leo Messi, will not be a virtue for the 'cracks' that expects fichar the club.
