Barça is on a knife edge and needs to sell to balance the books. While departures are expected, the future of Ilkay Gundogan is in question.
FC Barcelona have big recruitment ambitions with the planned transfers of Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. However, due to their financial difficulties, the Catalan club must first sell to recover cash.
Among the players considered to leave the Camp Nou, we find:
Raphinha. However, there are also rumors about a possible departure of Ilkay Gundogan. Targeted by some clubs in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the versatile German midfielder does not seem willing to leave Barcelona, according to
Sport.
Gundogan wants to collaborate with Flick
The Catalan sports daily indicates that the captain of the Mannschaft feels good at the Blaugranas, and the recent arrival of Hansi Flick, his former coach with the German team, on the bench of the Catalan club, further reinforces his desire to stay in Catalonia.
Arriving on a free transfer last summer from Manchester City, Gundogan has a contract running until June 2025, with an option for a further year. This summer promises to be eventful for Barça.
