What I don't understand is why Ilkay would leave Manchester City for Arsenal when he's still a key member of the squad and if he wants to change League, he will go to Barcelona. I want him at Arsenal but I am not sure he will join. He has won a vast array of trophies at Manchester City but it remains to be seen where he will be playing next season. Then again, the constant pursuit of Manchester City's players seems somewhat questionable to me. I’d love Arsenal to continue with their recruitment strategy.
Currently there are too many speculations presented by every news media which makes it difficult to find more accurate news. And actually there is also no certainty where Gundogan will go after his contract expires at Man City. And actually Man City itself also still hopes that the Citizens captain will stay at Man City for at least one more season. But at this time there are indeed many big clubs who want Gundogan, who is indeed a free player at the end of June.
Some of the lists of clubs that I read from the news media that are interested in signing Gundogan are Arsenal, PSG, Barcelona and even Borussia Dortmund.
There is even the latest news that there are also clubs from the Arab League who really want Gundogan and are ready to pay handsomely for Gundogan. but the names of the clubs from the Arab league who are interested in the gundogan have not been mentioned. So that in the end it could just be one of a series of speculations circulating in the media.
Gundogan is actually the player who was recruited for the first time since Pep Guardiola's first arrival to Man city. So it can be said that Gundogan has helped this club a lot since around 2016 and is still very much needed today.
