    Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan has left the club to join Barcelona following the expiration of his contract.

    Gundogan leaves Manchester on the back of the club’s greatest season, lifting the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies within the space of a month.

    He spent seven years at the Etihad Stadium since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2016, and manager Pep Guardiola had publicly hinted at his own desire to extend that stay further.

    Gundogan was in talks with City over a new deal ahead of his contract expiry at the end of this week.

      Won’t be surprised if he’s shipped off to SA next summer. Surely JL is eyeing this as an easy get out of jail card

      As a neutral, I always liked Gundogan, always smiling, like scholes kept out of the limelight and stayed humble and a very very special player. Basically, an instant fan’s favourite and I would like to echo everyone wishing him the very very best at Barca, a very very special club. Brilliant acquisition, will never let you down
