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.
It looks like Ilkay go to Barcelona than to Arsenal.
I don't know what he was thinking, but this midfielder has actually done quite well at Manchester City and this season he has participated in defending Manchester City to win several titles.
With his transfer I'm not sure he can develop there like he did with Manchester City.
Or could there be a tempting offer from Barcelona so he chose to go there instead of playing with Manchester City, who are now kings in the Premier League.
I think Gundogan has been offered a contract extension by Manchester City and has garnered significant interest from both Barcelona, Arsenal and PSG. The thing is that I don’t know about Barcelona because they have been in financial turmoil over the last year and in March they were hit with a corruption lawsuit dating back to 2018. And they must meet LaLiga's strict financial rules to be able to register new players which I don’t know if they’re in a position where they can sign him and register him. PSG have some internal issues regarding the players and the management. Among these clubs, Arsenal is the only side in the position to sign him. And if he decides to remain in England, then Arsenal is the possible destination.
