Ilkay Gündogan has stated he is “very happy” at Manchester City and wants to stay at the club for the final year of his contract. The veteran midfielder is a target for Galatasaray with Pep Guardiola having hinted he could be allowed to leave.

Yet the 34-year-old said: “I have one more year left on my contract and I’m very happy here – I think everybody knows that. I am enjoying my football. I still believe I have several years in me at the highest level by taking good care of myself. I’ve proven last season when I didn’t miss a game. I’m available, I’m fit, I want to play at the highest level for much longer.”
