Goes all in for Ilkay Gündogan: Barcelona met again with the agent of the German player.

Barcelona is close to winning LaLiga Santander this season. Already thinking about the next one, the 'culé' directive is looking for reinforcement options to stand out again in the Champions League. And one of their objectives is Ilkay Gündogan, who currently plays for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola. Recently, Spanish media reported that the German's agent, his uncle Ihan, met once again with Mateu Alemany, the sporting director of the 'azulgrana' club.

Ihan was at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper to talk to Alemany. The content has not transcended, but it is known that the 'culé' club has been trying for some time to secure the midfielder's arrival. Whether Sergio Busquets leaves or not, Gündogan is one of the reinforcements that is being considered with greater preference.

At this moment, the player has not yet decided his future, despite the fact that this season he can win the Premier League again and even become a champion of the Champions League. Barça's main goal is to convince him not to renew his contract with the Manchester team and adjust the player's economic demands.

It is worth mentioning that last February, Mateu Alemany met for the first time with the German's representative, with whom he has a good relationship. Jordi Cruyff, sporting director, was also present at the meeting. And, a few days ago, Ihan denied that the midfielder had made a decision, stating that he remains open to everything.

“There is still no agreement with any club. Ilkay's focus in recent weeks has been solely on Manchester City and the birth of his son. Now he is in the final and crucial phase of the season and is completely focused on that. The place where he will play next season is still open,” said the player's uncle and agent.

When will Barcelona play again?

After the goalless draw against Girona, Barcelona will return to action on Sunday, April 16, when they visit Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez for the twenty-ninth matchday of LaLiga Santander. The match is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. and will be broadcast throughout Latin America on DIRECTV.
