In this sense, the journalist Martin Blackburn ensures that the managerial 'sky blue' and the German would be very near to seal an agreement after the obtaining of the Premier League.

And it is that, after a round week in where the ones of Pep Guardiola reached the final of the Champions and his third consecutive league, the stage is totally favourable to convince to the captain.

For the moment, the one of Gelsenkirchen invoices 8 million net euros by season, a wage that would suffer an adjust important if it remains in the group 'cityzen'.

Financially, the operation would not be so complex, since his arrival would produce to 'cost zero'.

The Arsenal also insists in fichar to Gündogan

Another that is by the work of fichar to Gündogan is the Arsenal. The 'gunners' closed the season without titles after wasting a good advantage in the Premier, but will return to the Champions the next season. Thus, Mikel Arteta prioritises the arrival of the German to reinforce a centre of the field that gave clear samples of wear in the final stretch of the 2022/23, with a Jorginho that did not surrender to the level expected. The offer of the Arsenal would be upper in the economic to the one of the Barça, by which the mediocentro will take still a few days more to define his future. For the moment, the City luce with advantage.
