The idea of \u200b\u200bthe player would be to finish his contract at Bar\u00e7a in 2025, remembering that he has an optional third year. The main problem would be that the player arrived on a free transfer and his salary is one of the highest in the squad, <strong>something that would be complicated for the Bar\u00e7a salary cap in the event that they decided to activate that third year that exists in the agreement between both parties.<\/strong><\/p>  <p>In fact, right now Bar\u00e7a would not look down on his departure, especially to try to free up wages, knowing also that the midfield seems to be a fairly covered line, although there are current injuries to Gavi, De Jong and Pedri. <strong>That is why the Bar\u00e7a entity will respect the player&#8217;s will if he finally wants to continue,<\/strong> understanding that he could also contribute a lot, as he did last year.<\/p>  <h2>The German does not prioritise his exit this summer<\/h2>  <p>Gundogan has reportedly received offers from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, although he is not too interested in accepting them this summer. The German international was one of the players most used by Xavi Hernandez last season, <strong>although it remains to be seen what role Hansi Flick has prepared for him in his project if Bar\u00e7a ends up playing with two pivots as midfielders, remembering that the German likes to be a much more offensive midfielder.<\/strong><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FC Barcelona knows that some new arrivals could be key to completing its summer planning, and although there are several &#8216;heavy&#8217;
