Ilkay Gundogan has been in the news over the past few days, and not for a positive reason at all. It all started after El Clásico, when his team, Barcelona, lost to its eternal rival, Real Madrid, with a Jude Bellingham goal in the last minute. A very painful result that caused the German player to leave the field in extreme anger. He didn’t like what he found in the locker room at all
Instead of seeing his comrades desperate and depressed, he considered that they were not as upset as they should have been, and were looking for excuses to justify their defeat. He also sent a hint to Xavi Hernandez, pointing out that it is necessary to do more self-criticism, and to stop looking for external culprits, such as referees, stadiums, luck… but the matter did not end there. Because a few days later, at the Ballon d’Or, he was the star again
On this occasion, we depart from the official image of the institution, with the video that spread around the world within minutes. Without giving any explanation or saying anything, he left in another direction, when he was accompanied by teammates such as Alejandro Balde or Marc-Andre ter Stegen, as well as president Joan Laporta. It’s clear that the Germany international isn’t entirely happy with how things are going at the Camp Nou… so much so that he wonders if he made a good decisio
The truth is that he had the possibility of renewing with Manchester City, the club where he was Pep Guardiola’s undisputed starter, and the team’s captain, in addition to receiving a truly higher salary than what he now receives at Barcelona. However, Gundogan dared to step out of his comfort zone to start challenging in the EA Sports Spanish League, which is causing him discomfort at the moment. But two teams have already emerged willing to bail him out
Starting with Liverpool, which will allow him to return to the English Premier League, and reunite with Jurgen Klopp. They are looking for experience and core hierarchy, and he is one of the preferred candidate
Bayern Munich is also tempting Gundogan
While Bayern Munich has also been interested in Gundogan, who may enter a new stage in his native country, and is once again managed by Thomas Tuchel, with whom he coincided for a year in the ranks of Borussia Dortmund
