İlkay Gündoğan leaving Manchester City?

Pep Guardiola has refused to guarantee a future at the club to Ilkay Gundogan after a one-year extension in his current contract was triggered automatically.

Ilkay Gündogan has extended his contract with Manchester City until 2026, as confirmed by coach Pep Guardiola. The extension includes a clause based on appearances. Despite the extension, there is uncertainty about his future after the upcoming summer, with interest from Turkish clubs reigniting recently.

Team Talk reports on the potential interest from the Saudi Pro League in Gundogan. Gundogan reportedly has interest from the Saudi Pro League, who are most likely to offer close to his current wage of £230,000 per week. There is currently no concrete indications of an extension being offered by Manchester City, so Gundogan leaving on a free transfer is a real possibility.

Ilkay Gündogan, aged 34, having played 25 matches in the Premier League this season, is not expected to be retained by Manchester City for the next season, according to Florian Plettenberg from Sky Germany.

Pep Guardiola expects Ilkay Gundogan to stay at Manchester City for another season as his contract might automatically extend if he reaches a certain number of appearances. Guardiola sees him as part of the club's future despite being over 30 years old.

İlkay Gündoğan has been informed by Manchester City that he is not part of the future plans and can seek a new club.

Ilkay Gündogan has been advised by Manchester City to seek a transfer in the summer market as part of the club's strategy to refresh the squad. Reported by Sacha Tavolieri via Sky Sports.

Inter de Milán is targeting Ilkay Gündogan, who could be a free agent soon as his Manchester City contract ends. Acquiring him without a transfer fee is strategic for strengthening Inter's midfield. Coach Simone Inzaghi values Gündogan's experience and leadership, crucial for maintaining elite competition. Despite challenges with Gündogan's high salary, Inter might use creative contract solutions. The transfer depends on internal player movements, like potential departures of players such as Hakan Çalhanoğlu, to clear salary space. The next transfer window will be crucial for this potential signing.

Ilkay Gundogan is one of the key players who may exit Manchester City, as per Pep Guardiola's 'blacklist', due to a downturn in performance. The club is willing to consider offers for him in future transfer markets.
