He is a great addition to the squad, more like 2nd version of Gundo, defensive and offensive whatever the situation demands.

Wouldn’t need him. We already have De Bruyne, Gundogan, Foden and Bernardo all in good form atm.

Think it’s more of preparing for Gundo’s departure? Gundo is 31 this year and the club is preparing for future.

Great player but with the actual plan of Pep, doing really well, this position is covered with Gündo 🇩🇪 and Bernardo 🇵🇹. And I don’t think Aouar 🇫🇷 want to come as benched player.

Gundogan is nearing his 30’s so getting a young midfielder with similar technical qualities would be a smart acquisition
