His representative has endorsed Xavi’s words when questioned about the midfielder’s future.
The German reaffirmed his commitment to Barça recently to settle the interest of Galatasaray
“I am very happy at Barça”. This is how forceful Ilkay Gündogan was when the news of Galatasaray’s interest broke. He did so after the recent friendly between Germany and Turkey, at the request of the Turkish media.
But this forcefulness has not served to prevent rumors about his future from continuing to proliferate. The last one has left Saudi Arabia. The Saudi League already tested the incorporation of him in the summer market, when he concluded his contract with Manchester City, but the midfielder had already decided to join the project that Xavi is building at Barça.
The news has come from the local newspaper ‘Asharq Al-Awsat’, which claims that Gündogan had asked Barça to facilitate his departure to Saudi Arabia.
Questioned about this matter at the press conference prior to Rayo – Barça this Sunday, the Barça coach, Xavi, settled the matter with his usual naturalness: “But if you are looking for a house in Barcelona…”.
And the footballer’s representative, Ilha Gündogan, has endorsed these words to deny the news, as ‘Mundo Deportivo’ has revealed. “The best answer, that of the coach”Gündogan’s agent would have said.
Ilha Gündogan had already addressed rumors about a possible departure of the midfielder to Galatasaray. And those around the footballer are beginning to be bothered by this news that calls into question Gündogan’s commitment to Barça. A commitment that remains intact since he decided to leave Manchester City to play for the Blaugrana team..
