Ilkay Gundogan has ruled out a return to Germany but is yet to decide on next season as his Manchester City contract expires.
Gundogan, 32, has just days remaining on his current deal at the Etihad and has interest from a number of clubs looking to sign him on a free transfer. That includes Barcelona and Arsenal and also former club Dortmund, although the City midfielder ruled out a move to Germany when he spoke to reporters on international duty.
"There was contact between [Dortmund sporting director] Sebastian Kehl and my agent. I can say that," he said. "But it was not very likely. To return in the Bundesliga was not my plan.“
