It was rumored that he would join Barcelona in the summer, but it seems that Arsenal have come as Barcelona's competitors this time to get a contract signature from Gundogan. As we know, Arsenal this season is less impressive even though at the start of the season they were very convincing in being able to win several titles in the EPL and European leagues. It seems that Mikel Arteta really needs Gundogan's services to stabilize his midfield and I think Gundogan's experience with Manchester City will make Arsenal even stronger next season. Now there is competition between the two teams to get Gundogan, who do you think will get Gundogan?
Gundogan is a player who has experience requirements. although he is no longer young, his services are still in demand by several big clubs. Speculation about Ilkay Gundohan's future at the Etihad stadium has intensified as his contract expires at the end of the season. and currently, rumors about Gundohan's departure are of interest to several clubs. Although in fact, Pep Guardiola has expressed his desire to keep Gundohan, beyond this season, but the midfielder is thought to be considering his options, with Barcelona said to have a strong interest. a report recently claimed that Barcelona want to finalize a deal for Gundohan before the end of this month, with discussions ongoing between the two parties.
However several rumours report, one of which is SportBlid reporting that Arsenal are considering a potential summer signing for Gundohan, with Mikel Arteta said to "appreciate" the midfielder having worked with him during his time as assistant coach at the Etihad Stadium.
IMO, these two clubs have always been my favorites. Both the Gunners and El Barca are my favorite teams. but it seems that if Gundohan leaves the Etihad Stadium, I'm pretty sure he will choose Barcelona. because, there he will find a new team and a new league atmosphere as well. and wherever this midfielder chooses his next club, be it Arsenal or Barcelona, I am very happy with the presence of Gundohan to my two favorite clubs.
However, I don't think Pep Guardiola will be letting go of Gundogan in the summer but even if he decides to let him go it won't be to another premier league rival
