Ok now we have an answer to that question. I thought Gudogan would also try to stay at Manchester City because for him personally Barcelona isn't the next step in his career, but it is something new. Maybe that is what he wanted or maybe Manchester City didn't offer him what he wanted. Barcelona still doesn't look very strong to me. They can compete for the La Liga title, but in the Champions League there is still something missing in my opinion. At least Gundogan can become the boss in midfield and contribute with his control and passing. It is not a bad transfer for Barcelona, but let's see whether it was a bad transfer for Gundogan after the first season.
The latest news confirms that Gundogan has officially joined Barcelona on a two-year contract until June 2025, as seen in the recent post by Gundogan's agent, Fabrizio Romano, on Twitter. This puts an end to the rumors regarding his future destination after failing to reach a contract extension agreement with Manchester City.
It seems that Barcelona has acquired the right player to fill the void left by Busquets, who is reportedly set to join Inter Miami. With the guidance of Xavi, whom Gundogan admires, I am eagerly anticipating his performances at Barcelona in the upcoming season.
