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.
This transfer is very beneficial for Manchester City, Ilkay Gundogan is an experienced midfielder, before moving to Barcelona he was also a mainstay in the squad coached by Pep Guardiola. Manchester City did not spend any money on the deal as he is a free transfer and will be contracted until June 2025 with an option to extend. Barcelona bought him from Manchester City with the aim of strengthening the midfield, now he is released again for free, what a difficult transfer policy from Barcelona to understand.
