In a move that could potentially strike fear in Arsenal fans, Manchester City have submitted a new bid for Euro 2024 ‘rising star’ Ilkay Gundogan, getting closer to the asking price. Gundogan, Guardiola’s first signing at City in June 2016, played a crucial role in the team during their seven-year partnership, featuring in 188 league games under the manager’s system.
Many are tipping Arsenal to be a serious contender for the league title this season, and the addition of Gundogan to the City squad could give Gunners’ fans a harsh reminder of the midfielder’s experience in winning crucial games. With City aiming for an unprecedented five consecutive titles, Gundogan could prove to be the perfect signing to make that happen.
“It is difficult to say [if Gundogan will join City]. But one thing I can say is Gundogan has done a lot in his career already and he is one of the best midfielders I’ve ever had,” Guardiola expressed.
With high expectations for both City and Arsenal this season, the potential acquisition of Gundogan could have a significant impact on the title race. Only time will tell if the ‘rising star’ will make the move to the Etihad Stadium, but one thing is for sure – his experience and skill set could be invaluable for City’s ambitious goals.
A City insider also revealed, “We are pushing a lot to secure Gundogan’s signature. He has the talent and winning mentality that could make a huge difference for us in our pursuit of more success.”
As the transfer window deadline approaches, all eyes will be on Gundogan and City as they aim to finalize the deal for the talented midfielder. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
