"But Ilkay's position is very clear: he will stay at Barcelona," said Ilhan Gundogan. "He is looking forward to the new season in Spain and will help Barca achieve its goals.
Gundogan, 33, joined Barca on a contract until 2025 last season after being capped by Manchester City in 2023. Barca has now been joined by coach Hansi Flick, Gundogan's national team coach in 2021-2023.
