Barcelona have reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City captain over a three-year deal
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has become a transfer target for Barcelona, who are confident of signing the German international at the end of the season, according to reports. Despite City manager Pep Guardiola expressing his desire to keep Gundogan, the player has a verbal agreement with Barcelona and desires to reside in Spain. Gundogan is also excited about the sporting project at Camp Nou and the prospect of being a first-team regular under Xavi Hernandez. The report claims that Gundogan has already agreed to join Barcelona on a three-year contract ahead of the new season, despite City offering him fresh renewal terms.
Gundogan's experience and technical ability could prove valuable for Barcelona, especially with Sergio Busquets set to leave the club at the end of the season. He could play a vital role in guiding an otherwise inexperienced Barcelona midfield unit, led by players like Pedri and Gavi. However, it is unlikely that Gundogan will be brought in as a replacement for Busquets as the club is actively looking for another midfielder this summer, with Sofyan Amrabat emerging as one of the options.
Barcelona's confidence in signing Gundogan could be based on his desire to reside in Spain, but it remains to be seen if City will allow him to leave. Gundogan's performances during the backend of the season have been impressive, and Guardiola will not want to lose a key player who has been instrumental in the club's success.
Overall, the transfer saga surrounding Gundogan's future will be interesting to follow, and it remains to be seen where the midfielder will end up next season.
the addition of the German midfielder into the midfield mix of Barcelona would greatly improve our creativity in the the midfield and also bring some much needed experience with Bousquets leaving at the end of the season
