Manchester City expect Germany international Ilkay Gundogan to leave the club when his contract expires this summer - according to reports - with Barcelona mooted to be in discussions with the central midfielder over a proposed free transfer.
Gundogan, 32, was the first signing made by Pep Guardiola as City manager. He has totted-up 290 appearances since touching down in the Premier League from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in 2016, with nine major trophies won over his stay.
However, with only three months left to run on his contract, Gundogan - appointed club captain this season - has yet to come to an agreement over a would-be extension. Barcelona have regularly been credited with an interest in the player along with City teammate Bernardo Silva.
