Barcelona are said to be close to finalizing the signing of Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City, with meetings taking place in Munich to complete the deal. The LaLiga champions are hoping to secure the midfielder’s signature by the end of Wednesday.
Gundogan, who will become a free agent on June 30, is also a target for Arsenal. However, Barcelona seems to be in the lead to secure his services. Despite being released by Manchester City, there is still a chance for Gundogan to extend his stay under Pep Guardiola, who expressed his desire for the player to remain at the club.
Barcelona has been keen on Gundogan and has expressed their intention to sign him as a free agent this summer. To secure his commitment, the club has sent their director of football, Mateu Alemany, to Munich to finalize the remaining details.
Having viewed the contracts, Barcelona feels confident in completing the deal for Gundogan. Despite their financial challenges, the club believes they can register the player without any delay. Barcelona needs to raise £178m to comply with financial rules imposed by LaLiga, but they anticipate no issues once Gundogan agrees to join them.
Xavi, the first-team coach, has personally spoken to Gundogan and convinced him that Barcelona is the perfect destination for him. Despite better financial offers from Manchester City and Arsenal, Gundogan sees his future at Barcelona, making it only a matter of time until the deal is completed.
