In a shocking turn of events, German midfielder Ilkay Gündogan may be on his way out of Barcelona before the transfer window closes, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Despite coach Hansi Flick’s recent assertion that Gündogan would stay at the club this summer, Romano reveals that the player’s camp is actively exploring options for a potential departure.
Gündogan’s absence from Barcelona’s squad in their opening La Liga match against Valencia on Saturday, which the team won 2-1, has fueled speculation about his future. With the transfer window nearing its end, the possibility of Gündogan leaving Barcelona is increasingly likely.
While no deal is guaranteed yet, the fact that Barcelona is open to letting Gündogan go and his camp is exploring solutions suggests that a departure is not entirely off the table. This development comes after recent permutations about Gündogan’s potential exit from the club.
As the situation unfolds, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see if Gündogan will indeed bid farewell to Barcelona before the transfer window closes.
