Yes, Gundogan's return to Man City at his age is no longer young, indeed more speculations about the reasons why. If related to the salary, it may make sense. But why Man City should get him again? They got him for a free transfer. However, his position? Hmm, definitely back to his best position, as a CM.
In fact, he let this go:
Manchester City have not found a midfielder like Gundogan this season so they decided to recruit him back.
What I think Pep Guardiola is a little panicked facing this season because he is aware that the position is quite important in the game scenario that is applied.
This weak point has not been solved because they have not managed to recruit players who have the same quality as Gundogan. That's something I think why Gundogan was brought back to the Etihad Stadium.
Although previously, Pep also left everything to Gündogan whether to go to Man City or Saudi League. And finally, he is going home again, Man City.
His position has not been replaced and it is very difficult to find a replacement who has the same ability as him.
He will be a much-needed player this season as there is a reason why Pep Guardiola brought him back.
