Arsenal transfer hope as Ilkay Gundogan agent issues update on Man City contract

Ilkay Gundogan has not made a decision on his future at Manchester City, his agent has confirmed.

Gundogan is out of contract at the end of the month and at the weekend scored twice as City beat Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup Final.

City are desperate to keep their captain, who is reportedly pushing for at least a two-year contract to remain at the Etihad or seek a new challenge elsewhere.

Arsenal and Barcelona are firmly in the race to sign the City captain, and the player's agent and father Ilhan has confirmed that all options remain on the table ahead of the Champions League final this weekend.

“Nothing has been agreed with City or any other club”, Ilhan Gundogan told Fabrizio Romano.

“The recent reports are not true. Ilkay is only focused on the final.”
