The 33-year-old chose to leave Manchester City on a free transfer, thus he has only spent one complete season with the Catalan team.
Even though Gundogan has two more years left on his contract, he has been advised by Barcelona that they won’t stand in his way if he finds a suitable move.
There are reports that clubs in England, Spain, and Saudi Arabia are interested in signing the midfield player. Last season, he made 51 appearances in all competitions while playing for Barcelona, which finished second in La Liga.
After Gundogan missed the team’s season-opening victory over Valencia on Saturday due to a concussion, Barca manager Hansi Flick addressed rumors.
Gundogan’s former manager with the German national team, Flick, stated: “I know him very well.”
We discussed everything, but we won’t discuss it further. You don’t need to know. I feel like he’s going to remain.”
Although Flick is eager to maintain Gundogan, the complex financial situation at Barcelona might have an impact.
According to reports, the squad cost control regulations of the Spanish league have prevented them from registering their new £51 million acquisition, Dani Olmo.
Vitor Roque, a striker, is reportedly up for sale from Barcelona prior to the transfer deadline.
