Barcelona continues its quest to regain its brilliance again this season under the leadership of German coach Hans Flick after the difficult season that the Catalan team went through with the team’s former coach Xavi Hernandez.
In light of Barcelona’s attempt to sign some deals to support the team this season in order to win titles, something unexpected happened after the team’s star Hans Flick announced his desire to leave this summer.
Talk continues about the future of Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan during the remainder of the transfer market, and Spanish press reports claimed that Gundogan asked Barcelona to leave this summer.
According to what was reported by the “Radio Catalonia” network, Gundogan contacted Manchester City in order to return to them again, and the player is now in advanced negotiations with the English team to leave Barcelona this summer.
The source added that the English club is currently discussing the idea of Gundogan’s return to the team, and Barcelona does not mind the departure of the German star in order to make room in the salary scale, and benefit from him financially.
The source concluded that Hans Flick failed to convince the player to stay at Barcelona, especially with the interest of Saudi clubs and Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho in obtaining the services of the German national team star.
