Gundogan, the farewell phone call to Guardiola: “When I told him I was leaving from City…”

“I will never forget when I injured my knee at the end of the season with Borussia Dortmund (in 2016, ed) and had to have surgery, I was afraid City didn’t want me anymore. Pep called me on the phone and told me they would waited regardless of how long it would take to recover. Maybe he hoped we would leave together, as we arrived, but I know he understands my decision. I’m sure my going to his club helps.” , he added Gundogan.
