Gundogan’s first year with FC Barcelona has not been what the German wanted. Although his individual numbers were on par, it cannot be denied that collectively, Ilkay’s time was not even a shadow of what he experienced last year with Manchester City. In the 2022/23 season with the Premier League powerhouse, the midfielder won the treble, while with the Catalans he has not won anything this season, something that he will surely seek to reverse, although Turkey wants to tempt him this summer market.
More news on the transfer market
Durzun Ozbek publicly stated that he intends to move in the market for the signing of Ilkay, of whom he is a great fan, in addition to another couple of stars whose names he did not reveal. This being the case, the Galatasaray management would be in talks with major sponsors to obtain additional capital and be able to move for their dream signings, among which, Ilkay is the priority and there are intentions to negotiate his departure with Barcelona.
Beyond these intentions and the love that Ilkay has for Galatasaray due to his origins, the reality is that the movement does not seem like something easy for the Turks. It is clear that with Hansi Flick on the bench the German will be someone very important for the culé project. Furthermore, the Blaugrana would not negotiate the sale for a low price just because the player arrived as a free agent, in addition to his salary, which is one of the highest in all of Barcelona.
