Treble Winning Midfielder with Manchester City, Ikay Gundogan has agreed a three-year deal with La Liga 22/23 winner Barcelona on Tuesday after failing to agree a new deal with Man City.
The Manchester City captain was Pep Guardiola
first signing in the summer of 2016 and has so far, won five Premier League
titles, two FA Cups, four EFL Cups and featured in the Champions League triumph
over Inter Milan earlier this month.
The German Midfielder has been sensational in
the weeks wrapping up the season, with a man of the match performance against
Manchester United in the FA cup final. However, the Germany international’s
future has been shrouded in uncertainty due to his contract expiring at the end
of June.
There have been times since the turn of the
year where it has been claimed that an exit is more likely than extending his
stay in Manchester.
Barcelona head coach has been quite vocal in
his admiration of the former Borrusia Dortmund Man, saying that Gundogan has
the skill set to replace former Barcelona legend Sergio Busquets.
The news comes as Man City have agreed a £30m
deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic, which would go some way to
compensating for the loss of Gundogan.
