The reliable Spanish network, Relevo, said that FC Barcelona has settled its second summer deals by 100%, and that the player has already passed the medical examination, and the contracts will be officially signed within hours.
Barcelona is seeking to renew its squad before the start of the new season, after it succeeded in reducing the salary block to allow it to sign new players, and its first deal was already the deal for defender Inigo Martinez, and now the completion of the second deal is imminent.
Barring a drastic last-minute turn, Ilkay Gundogan will be a Barcelona player. As confirmed by the network on Monday, the agreement between FC Barcelona and the player has been completed since the beginning of the week.
We just had to wait for some small details to be agreed upon in the contract, which he will sign today, once the medical in Germany is over. Thus, he will become the second signing of the season after the signing of Inigo Martínez, although it has not been officially announced.
Manchester City’s last attempt to renew him was in vain, especially since they only offered him 1 + 1 seasons. Guardiola asked the club to make an effort after lifting them to the Champions League, but the new offer did not convince the 32-year-old.
The Turkish-German will contract with FC Barcelona for the next three seasons, although the last seasons will depend on the matches he plays in previous seasons. In fact, Matteo Alemany traveled to Munich to finish signing everything, Gigantes revealed.
