According to journalist Toni Juanmarti, Barcelona are increasingly confident about signing Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan. The Catalan club will offer him a two-year contract with the option to add on a further season.
The Manchester City midfielder’s heart is set on a move to Catalonia, but wants to ensure that his registration with the Spanish side will not be an issue before committing, particularly given Barcelona’s well-documented struggles with registering new contracts in recent times.
Manager Xavi Hernandez is said to be a big admirer of the German midfielder and views his versatility to be a great asset for next season.
