lkay Gündogan (33 years old) is facing more competition this season, but he seems unfazed and determined to prove his worth alongside his compatriot Hansi Flick at FC Barcelona. The midfielder, who joined Barça last season after achieving success with Manchester City, has no plans to leave the club anytime soon. This message has been relayed to the Barça sporting director by those close to him, including Anderson Luis de Souza, known as Deco.
Barcelona is open to considering offers for Gündogan if they align with everyone’s interests, but the player’s agent, his uncle Ilhan Gündogan, has made it clear to the Catalan club that they are not interested in entertaining any proposals. Gündogan is happy in Barcelona and aims to achieve great things with the team.
Despite rumors of offers, Gündogan’s team is unaware of them, including the one from Al-Saad in Qatar. However, it seems that he will have no shortage of offers given his performances at Barça and in the European Championship with Germany.
Recently, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Spor Arena reported that Fenerbahce coach José Mourinho has expressed interest in signing the 33-year-old midfielder from FC Barcelona. Negotiations have reportedly begun to fulfill Mourinho’s request.
Fenerbahce’s interest in Gündogan is said to be due to Fred’s injury. The Turkish team, aiming high in the market with signings like Youssef En-Nesyri, is looking to address midfield issues caused by injuries and lack of form. Mourinho’s desire for the transfer is believed to have sparked the negotiations led by director Acun Ilicali.
Ilkay Gündogan, is currently with the FC Barcelona team led by Hansi Flick. In the recent Clásico match against Real Madrid, he played his first minutes of the preseason. Fans can expect to see more of him in the upcoming game against Milan.
