José Mourinho wants to find a recognized star for his new adventure at Fenerbahce and has set his sights on one from FC Barcelona. The Portuguese coach wants one of the 'heavy weights' of the Barcelona team
FC Barcelona has been trying to place some of its stars on the market for some time, but at the moment none has agreed to leave the club. The Blaugrana have tried with Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, Ilkay Gündogan, Robert Lewandowski or even Ronald Araújo, but none of them have been close to leaving. However, the Catalans are not going to give up and in Europe there are still teams interested in several of these players.
One of these clubs is José Mourinho's Fenerbahce, who wants to sign a 'crack' of some renown this summer. For now, the Turks are far from achieving this goal, but they believe that in Barça there is a soccer player who could agree to play in the Turkish Super League. This is Gündo, whom the Portuguese coach has wanted for weeks. In fact, those from Istanbul would have even made an interesting economic proposal to convince Barcelona fans.
Offer for Gündogan
'Fener' would pay 20 million euros for the midfielder this summer. It is an important figure taking into account his age and it is more than likely that if the player gave the "ok", the Catalans would accept it. However, the German does not want to leave the Camp Nou and much less does he want to play in Turkey, despite it being the country of origin of his ancestors. The former City player is still thinking about winning the Champions League with Barcelona and wants at least one more attempt next year.
However, at Barça they will continue working to convince Ilkay to accept the Turkish offer or those that may arrive from Qatar. In the Qatari country they have also been interested in him and would be willing to pay more than 30 million, which would be a very good amount for someone his age. For the culés it would be a great sale, but the feeling is that they are going to hit a wall when they try to get Gündo to pack his bags.
