There are reports of Gundogan returning to Manchester city as he’s wanted by Pep Guardiola. Who would've thought Gundogan would be leaving Barcelona to return to Manchester City after how many seasons.
I don’t know how I feel about his return, but they have used him before and Pep knows exactly what he offers. Exactly same set of players he left in the dressing room last season. For pep, it's plug and play. He understands what the manager wants from him and he doesn't have to take time to fit in and blend in. I think it’s a win win for all parties. Gundogan back in City's midfield strengthens them big time.
IIkay Gündoğan is an important instrument when he was under Pep Guardiola management. He explored and turn out to become one of the very developing players that made crucial contributions to the team's performance and stats. Currently in Barcelona, he failed completely to build good chemistry with Barcelona, this is absolutely not a good choice for the German international. Rumours about Gündoğan keen on returning back to Manchester City, this is plain good news for the club but triggering this bid to come into action would be little challenging on the ends of the Citizens.
The way Barca have been moving over the last 2-3 seasons in the transfer market, some things are not beyond the realm of possibility for them.
I think Barcelona's problems is (are) well documented, it’s a club in all sorts of disorder, I bet they are even saying less to the public.
It might be that there have been on going issues between him and the club; style of play, Hansi flick freezing him out of the squad or something relating to wages.
Gundogan is returning to a known turf and Pep has a use for him. He was instrumental to their success and he with Manchester City’s reluctancy in bringing in new signings, I think he’ll be a good addition for them especially as he’s coming as a free agent.
