Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has instructed Barcelona Star to leave the club with immediate effect in press Conference over future, exit would help with Fair Play
Due to concerns about fair play and the balance of the team, Barcelona believes that if Gundogan were to leave, the team would be less good, but it would solve many “problems” at once.
Flick and the Barcelona sports department both think that the midfield needs more energy. They want the midfield to put more pressure on the other team after losing the ball, be able to run backwards, and make the game more dynamic in general.
The player who used to play for Manchester City is likely the one who lacks these traits the most. He seems most at home as a No. 10 defender, a position that Gundogan’s younger teammate Pedri holds.
Money is another thing that affects this. Ilkay makes one of the top salaries in the team, so if he can save some money, the team can look at signing more than one player.
Why does Gundogan want this?
Because of this, Flick will tell Gündogan the truth when they talk. Ilkay will not be a key player next season, even though no one questions his position or how well he played last season.
The experienced defender is only thinking about staying with the team right now. Ilkay would like to finish his deal with the Catalan club, even though he was unhappy with some things at times last season and was open to the idea of leaving.
