There is growing speculation that Ilkay Gundogan could be set for a reunion with Manchester City, just one year after leaving the club to join Barcelona. The midfielder’s departure from City was unexpected last summer, but with Barcelona facing financial struggles and City dealing with a suddenly short squad, a return for Gundogan could be on the cards.
While Gundogan has impressed at Barcelona, City’s struggles in midfield following injuries to key players have left them in need of reinforcements. Pep Guardiola has reportedly been monitoring Gundogan’s situation closely and could see him as the perfect solution to City’s current midfield woes.
City fans have mixed feelings about the potential reunion, with some excited at the prospect of Gundogan’s return while others remain skeptical. One fan said, “Gundogan was a fantastic player for us and it would be great to have him back, but there are concerns about how he would fit into the team now after being away for a year.”
Meanwhile, Barcelona fans are disappointed at the prospect of losing Gundogan so soon after his arrival. The club’s financial struggles have forced them to consider selling some of their key players, and Gundogan’s departure would be a blow to their midfield.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Gundogan’s future, both City and Barcelona are yet to make any official statements on the matter. Only time will tell if Gundogan will indeed make a return to Manchester City, but if the rumors are to be believed, a reunion could be on the horizon.
