A surprising piece of news given that, last season, he was a fundamental piece in the team that won the Premier League and reached the first UEFA Champions League final in the club’s history, but the English team has specific reasons to close your exit.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the citizen team has 3 reasons why they want to leave the German midfielder, who became Pep Guardiola’s first signing in the Premier League.
The 3 reasons why Manchester City want to sell Gündogan
-Lost ownership: The German went from being the undisputed starter to being a piece in the rotation. Bernardo Silva took the starting position from him and did not let him go at any time.
The player himself wants to go to a club where he can be the undisputed starter. He played 42 games this season: 8 goals, 6 assists and 2,999 minutes played.
-Contract ends in summer 2023: Gündogan’s contract ends in the summer of 2023 and the club feels that it is not worth renewing him.
And, before he leaves for free, they prefer to sell him in the summer to recover Haaland’s investment a bit and aim for Pep Guardiola’s dream signing.
-They want to sign Frenkie de Jong: Pep Guardiola’s dream. The hidden intention of the club is to sell him (not wanting to convince him to stay) to get a good amount of money and leave a free place for Frenkie de Jong in the midfield rotation.
A move that wants to close the citizen group as soon as possible. Barcelona wants to sell the Dutchman and City is in the running with Manchester United and PSG.
