Ilkay Gündoğan, aged 34, is anticipated to depart from Manchester City soon, with Bayer Leverkusen being his most probable next team, as reported by transfer expert Nicolo Schira. The German midfielder was notably not included in the squad during Manchester City's recent match against Tottenham Hotspur, which concluded in a 0-2 loss for City. Schira indicated that Gündoğan's exit is likely to happen soon, possibly within a few days, as Manchester City continues to revamp its squad following a less successful season. This transfer is seen as part of City's plan to balance their substantial transfer spending by letting go of players. Gündoğan's contract is valid until June 2026, and his market value is estimated at €5 million by Transfermarkt. Other clubs, such as Inter, Juventus, and Galatasaray, have also been associated with the midfielder.
