Oh I just noticed a tweet from Fabrizio Romano that at last Ilkay Gundogan has been confirmed to sign a 2 season contract with Barcelona. This is great news for all the fans because Barcelona really need an experienced midfielder since Busquets left, so Ilkay Gundogan looks like he's worth it. So, welcome to Ilkay Gundogan.

Gündogan has agreed a two year deal valid until June 2025 with option for further year.
I can't believe that Ilkay Gündogan prefers to move to Barcelona. I'm sure Man City still expects him to stay, but he may want to have a new experience. Well, Barcelona is lucky to sign Ilkay Gündogan. He will be a great addition to Barcelona midfield line, he already contributed perfectly for Man City in the last season. I agree that he is the right player to replace Busquets. Ilkay Gündogan is an experienced midfielder, he also can function as the leader in the midfield line. Congratulations Barcelona!!
