On August 29, Gundogan returned to Manchester City from Barcelona this summer. Recently, he talked about transfer issues and the situation at Barcelona in an interview with the media.
About the conversation with Guardiola
“Guardiola was very proactive and wanted me back from the start, and that fact alone was enough. I had other offers, but none of them interested me. If I were to leave Barcelona, I would return to Manchester City: I realized this immediately.”
About Barcelona’s financial problems
“I don’t think it’s appropriate for a player to talk about these matters. The only thing I can say is that I sincerely wish Barcelona finds peace and success. Most importantly, I am now back at Manchester City, and the team’s start with three consecutive wins is what the fans want to see.”
About Flick
“I did not feel that Flick no longer needed me. We talked a lot about football, we maintained a good relationship, and I am very grateful to him for appointing me as the captain of the German national team under such difficult circumstances.”
“But there were false reports in the media and around me, and I wanted to respect all parties involved in the club, which is why I do not want to disclose details now. Manchester City showed interest again, and then everything happened very quickly. In the end, I believe we found a solution that works for everyone.”
