Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan wants to join Galatasaray

Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan wants to join Galatasaray, according to Sportcell journalist Burhan Can Terzi. The reporter has claimed that Gundogan has told his agent to try to get him a move to Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray.

Terzi claimed that this is what the German star told his agent: “I am approaching the end of my football career. I don’t want to leave football without wearing the Galatasaray shirt.”

Gundogan joined Barcelona only in the summer of 2023 on a free transfer after leaving Manchester City with whom he won the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup last season. The 33-year-old German midfielder has made 12 starts and one substitute appearance in La Liga for Barcelona so far this season. Gundogan has scored one goal and given three assists in those games. The former Borussia Dortmund star has also given two assists in four UEFA Champions League games for Barca this campaign.
