Manchester City Captain Ilkay Gundogan Signs Two-Year Deal With Barcelona
- Ilkay Gundogan leaves Manchester City after seven successful years to join Barcelona.
- Barcelona signed Gundogan on a free transfer, agreeing to a two-year contract with an option for a third year.
- Gundogan's transfer comes after Manchester City was unwilling to match Barcelona's offer of a multi-year contract.
- The move allows Gundogan, who won 14 trophies with City, to experience playing for another top club before retiring.
- Barcelona sees the signing of the experienced Gundogan as a way to strengthen their midfield after the departure of club captain Sergio Busquets.
