Ilkay Gündogan was recently linked with Juventus Turin and Inter Milan before deciding on Galatasaray.

CalcioMercato reports on Ilkay Gundogan's potential move to Inter. Ilkay Gundogan's agent has proposed him to Inter. Gundogan desires to play in Italy, partly due to his wife Sara's connection to the country. Although Gundogan's contract with Manchester City runs until 2026, he might be released without a transfer fee. His current salary is approximately 8 million euros per year, which could be an obstacle for the move.

Inter Milan have reportedly identified Ilkay Gundogan as a transfer priority, considering the move a strategic 'masterstroke' due to his availability on a free transfer from Manchester City in the summer. However, his substantial wages pose a challenge to Inter's financial policy, which aims to avoid significant commitments to veteran players. The board is thought to be exploring creative solutions to facilitate the signing. Gundogan, who has won the Premier League five times, is out of contract at the end of the season, and various reports indicate that he is unlikely to receive a new deal offer from City. The potential transfer is seen as a strategic opportunity for Inter to leverage City's possible squad changes, which could lead to the departure of some current stars.
