Since the departure of key players like Ilkay Gundogan, Cole Palmer, Riyad Mahrez, and Aymeric Laporte from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, they have not been successful collectively. Gundogan, now at Barcelona, was frustrated by the lack of trophies in his debut season at the club after winning a treble with City. Mahrez and Laporte, at Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr respectively, also faced disappointing finishes in their respective leagues. Despite still being in Europe, Gundogan’s desire for silverware may lead to a possible departure from Barcelona as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Cole Palmer, on the other hand, has extended his contract with Chelsea and has time to win trophies in his career. The possibility of Gundogan returning to Manchester City remains uncertain, especially given the club’s current midfield options. With Real Madrid signing Kylian Mbappe, Barcelona may have to settle for second place in La Liga once again, prompting discussions about Gundogan’s future at the club as his camp explores potential destinations.
If Gundogan were to consider returning to Manchester City, it would be interesting to see if the club is open to welcoming back their former midfielder. The impact of his return on the team, especially at 33 years old, is uncertain, but his experience and skill could potentially elevate City’s performance. As Romano reports on Gundogan’s potential departure from Barcelona, the midfielder’s future in the upcoming transfer window remains uncertain.
