Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola moves to sell out a player who has not been in the Club for up to a year now

Following their four consecutive Premier League titles last summer, Manchester City took a break. However, they are presently in a battle to qualify for the Champions League next season with two games remaining, as they failed to overhaul their squad.

The recent 0-0 stalemate between Southampton and Man City has been perceived by Man City fans as a mistake by Pep Guardiola. If the Spaniard’s team is to regain their title-winning status next season, it is imperative that they avoid similar outcomes.

A number of new players will be incorporated into the City squad by the legendary coach in the upcoming weeks. Consequently, Guardiola is already prepared to release a player that the Premier League club only acquired last summer in advance of the upcoming season, provided that the appropriate offer is received.

Man City is open to considering proposals for Ilkay Gundogan.
Man City re-signed Ilkay Gundogan last summer after the German decided to depart Barcelona, after he had spent seven years at the Premier League club.

The 34-year-old midfielder has already been granted a one-year prolongation to his contract as a result of his participation in 47 matches for the Manchester club this season.

Man City had previously determined that Gundogan would remain for an additional year; however, they appear to have reconsidered their decision.

Man City will consider offers for Gundogan this summer, despite the midfielder’s one-year contract and desire to remain, according to Ben Jacobs. The Premier League heavyweights are seeking to recruit at least two midfielders.

Gundogan has expressed his desire to remain at Manchester City for an additional season; however, it will be necessary to allocate space for the new players who will be joining the club this summer.

City is optimistic about the possibility of signing Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan, while the Premier League team is prepared to go all in on Florian Wirtz, who is Guardiola’s primary target.

Ilkay Gundogan’s performance this season at Manchester City
Guardiola’s admiration for Gundogan was evident when the German midfielder departed for Barcelona in the summer of 2023. The Man City manager referred to the midfielder as a “incredible player” to ManCity.com for his performance at the Etihad Stadium.

The 34-year-old was unable to replicate the success of his previous tenure at City during the past year, as he encountered difficulties at the outset of the campaign. Nevertheless, recent weeks have been more favorable.

The German is a valuable asset to the Etihad Stadium, and he would be a valuable asset to have in the dressing room, as well as occasionally being included in the starting lineup. He is worthy of another year at the stadium.

Gundogan aspires to play for Galatasaray in the future, and while the 34-year-old is inclined to remain, it would be intriguing to observe his reaction should the Turkish team extend an offer.
