Gündogan is unwanted at Barcelona. A sentence that may seem surprising, but it is indeed the case. On the other hand, this situation is due to financial reasons and not sporting ones. The Catalan club must indeed part with several players in order to register others, like Dani Olmo, who arrived for 60 million euros but whose contract still cannot be registered with La Liga.
A very tense situation, which therefore forces the Catalan management to sell and free up payroll to comply with the financial fair play of La Liga, which would allow the new arrivals to be registered. The German international also receives substantial emoluments, with an evolving contract which, according to the Iberian media, would climb to 23 million euros gross during this new season which starts this weekend for the Blaugranas.
He made his decision
Above all, unlike other high-paid players in the squad, the 33-year-old German midfielder is coveted. According to various media, he has received offers from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and Barça were hoping he would say yes. But as indicated Relevothe player is holding on and does not want to leave. He has no intention of leaving Barcelona and he has already made this known to his management.
He is delighted to be able to work with Hansi Flick, and feels very good on the Barcelona side in his private life. FC Barcelona will therefore have to bet on the sale of other players to bring in cash and save money, and players like Raphinha or Frenkie de Jong could in turn be pushed towards the exit, in addition to players with a less important value like Ansu Fati and Clément Lenglet.
