Mercato: In a state of grace, a star responds to PSG

Published on June 12, 2023 at 04:30

The summer transfer window officially opened its doors last Saturday, the day of the Champions League final and coronation for Manchester City and Ilkay Gündogan. A departure of the German to PSG or FC Barcelona? It casts doubt.

Ilkay Gundogan ended the season on a high. Eliminated from the group stage of the World Cup with the German selection, the captain of Manchester City made up for it at club level by achieving a historic hat-trick that no one had done in England since Manchester United in 1999.

Barca or PSG? Gündogan has not decided

Saturday evening, thanks to the coronation of Manchester City in front of l’Inter in the Champions League final (1-0), the Skyblues managed to come full circle after the FA Cup and the Premier League. As asserted by The Team last week profileIlkay Gundogan would please PSG although the Parisian club knows full well that its preference would be for the FC Barcelona. At the end of the contract on June 30, Gundogan however, claimed to have made no decision so far regarding his future.

“I don’t know 100% yet”

This is indeed the message‘Ilkay Gundogan passed to Sky Germany following the victory of Manchester City in Istanbul on Saturday night. “If it had already been decided, I would have already told Stefan. I don’t know 100% yet. Of course, there are discussions going on in the background. But in the end I wanted to focus on the two finals and prepare myself as well as possible. Of course, I have to deal with the subject now. This will take place in the next few days”. It remains to be seen what will become of this soap opera from now on, the PSG could get his hands on a star or see it slip through his fingers.
