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!!
With Manchester city signing Kovacic from Chelsea; i do not think they expect Gundogan to stay. Its been over a year dragging contract terms and they have been unable to reach an agreement. I hope Barcelona are able to manage Gundogan injury crisis just like Manchester city did or it would be a wrong transfer for the club.
Right profile for barcelona? yes of course. Would he fit into the barcelona team? time will tell
