Pep Guardiola begins to define the staff with which the Manchester City will try to litigate by everything in the 2022-23. With the arrival of Erling Haaland, the attack 'skyblue' will suffer some changes and the first player in going out of the plans of the Catalan technician already has been desvelado. As As 'Sportsmail', the first 'affected' will be Ilkay Gündogan, first signing of Guardiola when arriving to the club in the summer of 2016, the one who could have the days explained in the club.
The half English ensures that the directive already has communicated him to the German midfield player that it is free to negotiate with the one who want to and, if it arrives a good offer, will not doubt in selling him, since only it subtracts him a year of agreement and will not offer him renew it. The player of 31 years has been a key piece for the ex technician of the FC Barcelona in the six seasons that carries in the City, contesting a total of 252 parties where has added 47 goals and 33 assistances.
The best season of Gündogan in the Etihad Stadium was the 2020-21, where converted a total of 17 so many in 46 apparitions. However, this campaign the germano has lost leadership, turning into acting in the final stretch of the season. Although it has contested 43 parties and played 2.999 minutes, the contribution of Ilkay has left to be transcendental for the 'citizens' (8 goals and 6 assistances) and the club understands that it is a good moment to leave him go.
In this sense, the German could be a good alternative for the Barça if it concretises the exit of Frenkie of Jong. The one of Gelsenkirchen is a polyvalent midfield player that could adapt of wonder to the diagram of Xavi Hernández thanks to his experience with Pep. Gündogan Can play recostado on one of the bands as it stick or as '5' born'. Besides, has arrival, hit and definition, being an authentic 'todoterreno'. Besides, his price is accessible in comparison to other players with his characteristics.
Gündogan Could go out by less than 50 'kilos'
With agreement until June of 2023, Ilkay could go out by around 40 million euros of England. The City paid 27 'kilos' by him to the Borussia Dortmund and in this moment his value of market is of 35 millions in Transfermarkt. Three Premier League (could be four if the 'citizens' sustain his advantage on the Liverpool), four Glasses of the league, a FA Cup and two Supercopas English in six seasons summary his list of winners in Manchester.
The only pending debt of the German with the 'citizens' was the Champions League, tournament in where this edition only could concretise 2 assistances in 10 parties. In spite of not being his best season, the germano was to title in 20 of the 37 parties of Premier that the City has played this year and, with an accessible price, of sure him lloverán offers from now. Really it will leave him go Pep?
