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.
Actually Ilkay Gundogan I think would really fit in at Barcelona. Because in a fit condition Gundogan can really help become a midfielder as well as an attack line. Even when Gundogan has the chance he very rarely fails to capitalize on the opportunities he gets. Even if he is a striker I think he can be a goalscoring machine like Haaland. But the most suitable position for Gundogan remains in midfield to help the front line and also help the back line. midfield position plays an important role in the overall balance of the game on a team. And Gundogan has sufficient skills and experience for this. I think Barcelona will not let us down this season in the Champions League.
