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.

It's a pity that Barcelona had released Gundogan who had been very influencial in their midfield last season on a free transfer, I don't why Barca allowed such a quality and experience player to just leave after a season, I truly agree that his inclusion into Pep Guardiola Man City would strengthen their team having been once a proven midfielder especially when playing with Benard Silva and with the exit of Alvarez I believe Pep Guardiola would have a role for Gundogan in the club based on his pedigree and experience truly Man City would still remain formidable and a team to beat this season.
