Ilkay Gundogan has reportedly approached Manchester City to discuss a possible return.

German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has reportedly contacted Manchester City to discuss the possibility of his return, amid reports linking him away with a Barcelona exit. 

Gundogan joined the Blaugrana at the start of the 2023/24 campaign after leading Manchester City to a historic treble as captain. He could be set to return to the Premier League champions after only one season as he inches towards leaving Barcelona.

Pulse Sports reported that Gundogan could leave Barcelona this summer, and clubs like Fenerbahce have initiated contact.

Barcelona will not stand in his way, according to reports, as they see it as an opportunity to get his huge wages off their books and register their summer acquisitions. 

However, Flick, in the post-match press conference of the victory against Valencia, said he has spoken to Gundogan and believes the German will continue at the club next season.

Manchester City possibility 

According to Sport, it was reported on the Catalunya Radio show “La TdT” that Gundogan reached out to Manchester City officials earlier in the week to discuss a possible return. 

The discussion was reported to be fruitful and Manchester City are keen to re-sign their former captain. It remains to be seen if a move will materialise, as Fenerbahce are pushing to sign him as well
