The signing of İlkay Gündogan continues to be more complicated for FC Barcelona than expected. According to the newspaper 'The Sun', the 'sky blue' board would be willing to offer the German the three-year contract he wants
The Manchester City does not want to leave escape to İlkay Gündogan this summer and, in accordance with the newspaper 'The Sun', the last offer of renewal would be much more near of the pretences of the mediocentro, the one who prioritises an agreement by a minimum of three seasons to ensure his future. In this sense, the journalist Martin Blackburn ensures that the managerial 'sky blue' and the German would be very near to seal an agreement after the obtaining of the Premier League.
And it is that, after a round week in where the ones of Pep Guardiola reached the final of the Champions and his third consecutive league, the stage is totally favourable to convince to the captain. Gündogan Great 9 goals and 7 assistances in 48 parties this season and, to his 32 years, expects to close the one who probably will be his last big agreement in the European elite. For the moment, the one of Gelsenkirchen invoices 8 million net euros by season, a wage that would suffer an adjust important if it remains in the group 'cityzen'.
The Barça follows without being able to negotiate with Gündogan
By his part, the FC Barcelona follows to the margin because of the restrictions imposed by the 'Fair Play' financial of LaLiga. The club expected to explain this Monday with the 'ok' of the patronal to his plan of economic feasibility, but LaLiga asked some days more than term to review the documentation presented by the Barcelona directive, by which the Barça will follow tied of hands to close renewals and signings.
The plan culé aims to fichar to Ílkay by three seasons, with a similar wage to the that perceived in the 2022/23 with the City. The course of Sergio Busquets forces to the club to add another mediocentro in summer and the international German is the favourite of the technical body to support a centre of the field where would do pair with Frenkie of Jong, of similar way to as it has worked in the last two seasons beside Rodri in Manchester. Financially, the operation would not be so complex, since his arrival would produce to 'cost zero'.
The Arsenal also insists in fichar to Gündogan
Another that is by the work of fichar to Gündogan is the Arsenal. The 'gunners' closed the season without titles after wasting a good advantage in the Premier, but will return to the Champions the next season. Thus, Mikel Arteta prioritises the arrival of the German to reinforce a centre of the field that gave clear samples of wear in the final stretch of the 2022/23, with a Jorginho that did not surrender to the level expected. The offer of the Arsenal would be upper in the economic to the one of the Barça, by which the mediocentro will take still a few days more to define his future. For the moment, the City luce with advantage.
