According to Sport, Ilkay Gundogan has expressed his intention to leave Barcelona before the summer transfer window closes. The Germany international was notably omitted from the squad for Barcelona’s La Liga opener against Valencia.
At 33, Gundogan has drawn interest from Turkey, although no formal offers have been made yet. Galatasaray is reportedly interested, and Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho is prepared to do whatever it takes to secure his transfer. Additionally, Saudi Arabian clubs are said to be keeping an eye on the situation.
Gundogan joined Barcelona from Manchester City in 2023 on a two-year contract, so the club must decide his future soon. According to the report, Barcelona is unlikely to block his departure if an acceptable offer comes in.
Given his exclusion from the Valencia match, it seems likely that Gundogan has played his final game for Barcelona. He will now hope to secure a new opportunity before the transfer window closes.
