Ilkay Gundogan is said to be intending to leave Man City in the summer of 2022, he wants to leave the Etihad Stadium to play more. Spain is said to be the favorite destination of the former Dortmund star, where Barca are eager to have his signature.
However, Pep Guardiola successfully kept Gundogan for another season. At the moment, the German player is still on the bench at the Etihad. He will likely decide to leave in the summer of 2023.
Liverpool are set to target Gundogan, meaning they want to sign him on a free transfer at the end of the season. Jurgen Klopp has previously worked with Gundogan at Dortmund, and the two still maintain a good relationship.
However, in the latest development, Ilkay Gundogan ruled out a move to rival Liverpool next season, saying: I can rule out that possibility. Everyone knows how much I like and am grateful to Klopp. But I have been at Man City for five years.
And now a captain of Man City, then moved to Liverpool? No, I can't imagine it."
