It is understood that Man City will in fact put an offer on the table for Ilkay Gundogan. The deal would be valid until June 2024 with the option to extend for a further season until 2025, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Barcelona had previously offered the German a contract, but the details are unclear on the terms. The midfielder now has another option to consider, and talks are reportedly ongoing.
Gundogan has had a fantastic season this year with league leaders City, most recently scoring a double and providing Haaland with an assist in City's 0-3 defeat of Everton. In total this season, the German has had 15 G/A in his seventh season with the English club.
Nothing has been decided about the star's future, as after the win at Goodison Park, Pep Guardiola commented "No one knows what will happen" to him next season in the press conference. It appears Gundogan is thinking carefully about this one.
