‘The Times’ affirms that Manchester City raises its proposal to Gündogan so that he can continue at the Etihad
FC Barcelona offered him two years, plus an optional one, and now City is also offering him a long-term contract
Manchester City do not throw in the towel for Ilkay Gundogan. The midfielder is free on June 30 and the Barça had his signing very advanced. However, City have made a counter offer, according to ‘The Times’ so that he discards the Barcelona option.
Barça had transferred a proposal for two seasons, plus an optional third. A very interesting option for a 32-year-old footballer. City, meanwhile, to date only gave him one more year, something that the player considered insufficient.
Change of scenery
However, The British newspaper assures that Manchester City has changed its script and now offers him a long-term contract. A proposal, therefore, that at least has to be for three seasons.
Gundogan would see this alternative with different eyesto. The German is happy in Manchester, where his family has integrated well, and he has a very important role in Pep Guardiola’s team.
Therefore, the option of Gundogan dressing as a blaugrana player is very complicated. The City has put all the meat on the grill and the FC Barcelona will have to reactivate the conversations to convince the footballer.
