“Nothing Is Decided Yet, We Will See What Will Happen”
Written By Onyeka Daniel
It’s shaping up to be a great season for Manchester City midfielder, Ilkay Gundogan after his 2 goal heroic helped his team to win the FA Cup over city rivals, Manchester United at the Wembley stadium.
More Details
He’s been in a terrific form lately for City, popping up with some important goals and has scored 6 goals in his last 9 matches played while also contributing his fair share in defensive duties, but the Citizens run the risk of losing the player for next season.
His current contract with the club is set to expire in July and there’s a heavy interest in the player, especially from Spanish side, Barcelona who are in the lookout for top quality players to sign on a free transfer.

The Blaugrana have been heavily linked with a free transfer move for the German international as part of a squad rebuild. But Gundogan has consistently stated his preference is to wait until the season is completed, as City push for a possible trophy treble, with a decision not expected until mid-June.
Talks will be stepped up after City’s Champions League final with Inter Milan on June 10, and the 32-year-old faces a key call on his future. After another magnificent display today to help city win their second trophy in their treble quest, Gundogan confirmed his future remains unresolved.
“I don’t need these kind of days to feel appreciated and special at this club”, he said in an interview. “I know that, and that’s why I have been here for seven years. Nothing is decided yet, we will see what will happen.”
City are rumoured to be ready to offer Gundogan a 12-month extension at the Etihad Stadium, but Barcelona could offer two years, with Arsenal also angling for a possible deal.
The player wants to stay at City but prefers a longer contract and a compromise could be reached if they offer him a one year contract plus an option for another year depending on certain factors.

“Today City played against United, who are an excellent team.” He said. “We’ll need to suffer together and play football well, because we have to take possession off of them. We have to attack with balance.
“We’ll prepare for it this week,” the coach continued. “We hope to have everyone back fit and available.” “There’s hope, and then Saturday will be a massive match that we’re all looking forward to.”
“I want to give a round of applause to my guys,” Inzaghi said. “Because playing against Torino the way we did today with a final one week away, they did very well.” He further added.
