Ilkay Gundogan will leave Barcelona this summer and will do so on a free transfer after an unanimous agreement by the club.
The Catalans want to offload Gundogan after just one season to free up some space on the wage bill and register new signing Dani Olmo.
Gundogan has now agreed to wave goodbye to the club and is expected to head back to former club Manchester City.
The German arrived from City on a free transfer last summer and looks set to return the same way.
Fabrizio Romano has reported: “Understand Barcelona have 100% decided to let Ilkay Gündogan leave for free. Manchester City are working on details of the deal with Gündogan’s agent now in UK to get the comeback done. As revealed earlier, Pep Guardiola said YES. Up to Gündo’s green light.”
