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
Without injury, Gundogan is a very good player for the team and if Barcelona are able to get this Gundogan to be placed into the team next season, I think it will be very good for Barcelona because considering Barcelona are in need of great players to support their increase in performance at Next season. After all, Manchester City also has more powerful players at the moment so Manchester City still has the best choice even though they will also bring in new players to their team for next season.
Gundogan is a senior player who has a good mentality, this is very good for guiding young Barcelona players and in terms of quality Gundogan is still very good but unfortunately injuries often come to him so that in one full season he cannot consistently stay in the line up.
I think Gundogan is perfect for Barcelona and this team really needs a player like Gundogan.
Gundogan himself wants to leave Manchester City, maybe he wants to get more playing time, because as we know that Man City's midfield is very solid and quite fierce in the competition for several players to become the main player.
