Barcelona continues its efforts in the current Mercato to strengthen its ranks with the best players in the world, taking into account the economic crisis that the Catalan team has been going through in recent years.
Everyone is talking about the new deals coming to Barcelona, but there are things cooking on a quiet fire inside the Catalan house regarding those leaving the team this summer, and it seems that there are surprising names that will bid farewell to the Camp Nou.
In light of this, German Barcelona midfielder Alkay Gundogan received, in great surprise, an offer from the Qatari club Al-Sadd, during the current summer transfer period.
Gundogan, who moved to Barcelona last summer, coming from Manchester City, England, on a free transfer, is linked to a contract that extends until the summer of 2025.
Gundogan is currently on his summer vacation following the end of his participation with the German national team in the European Nations Cup “Euro 2024”.
Barcelona, under the leadership of Flick, began the preparation period for the new season, while developing a general strategy for the team’s future, regarding departing players or new signings this summer.
Catalan Channel 3 revealed that the Qatari club Al-Sadd made a large financial offer to Barcelona to obtain the services of Ilkay Gundogan.
Gundogan is considering accepting the Qatari offer, which is for a period of 3 years, amid some welcome from the Barcelona administration for his departure.
On the other hand, Gerard Romero explained through his program on the Twitch platform that many doubts may prevent Gundogan’s departure from Barcelona.
Gundogan receives the largest salary in Barcelona with Lewandowski, which also encourages the administration to welcome his departure in accordance with the rules of financial fair play.
