Ilkay Gundogan will officially complete a Bosman move to Barcelona later this week, signing a two-year contract running until June 30, 2025.
La Liga champions Barcelona have made an official announcement to confirm that they have reached an agreement with Ilkay Gundogan over a two-year contract. The multi-time Premier League winner is leaving Manchester City as a free agent. And his deal with the Blaugrana will contain a release clause worth €400 million.
Ilkay Gundogan leaves Manchester City as an all-time great after an excellent seven-year stay at the Etihad. The 32-year-old joined the Premier League champions from Borussia Dortmund in July 2016. And while he initially encountered some fitness issues, he quickly shrugged off the problems to become a pivotal figure under Pep Guardiola.
The German international departs from the Etihad as a multi-time Premier League winner while also clinching the treble this past season. In addition, he made 304 appearances for Manchester City, chipping in with 60 goals and 40 assists. But Gundogan’s Manchester City contract expires this week, and he will join Barcelona in a Bosman move.
Barcelona chased Gundogan’s signature for a long time, with Arsenal briefly troubling them. But the Manchester City captain had his heart set on moving to Spotify Camp Nou. And the interest in the experienced midfielder is hardly surprising, considering Sergio Busquets has left the club.

The 32-year-old will not only fill the gaping hole of quality from Busquets’s departure, but also the leadership void in the Barcelona first team. And his versatility will enable the multi-time Premier League winner to reprise different roles in the middle of the park.
