Ilkay Gundogan gives update on Man City future with contract expiring in summer

Ilkay Gundogan has insisted no decision has been made on his Manchester City future with just two months left on his deal.

Pep Guardiola would love to keep the midfielder who remains an integral part of his team seven years after following him from Germany to Manchester, although the City boss did quip that he can do whatever he likes after scoring the goals that won the Blues the Premier League last season. However, if Gundogan does leave he will take some replacing after his contributions for the club.

Barcelona are one of the clubs interested in signing Gundogan on a free transfer and he has been free to talk to those clubs since January as a result of his contract status. The 32-year-old is in negotiations with City about his future, and said that they are ongoing as the club continue their push for three competitions this season.

"We have been together for seven years. It has been amazing, we have won a lot together and to hear things like that of course brings me joy and a smile and I appreciate what I have done in these last seven years," he said speaking at Manchester City's press conference ahead of their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.

"There are talks in the background. That's normal with just a couple of months left but without going too much into detail there is nothing decided yet from my side or the club's side so the talks are continuing.

"If there's a decision, you guys will be the first ones to know."
