Man City boss Pep Guardiola details Ilkay Gundogan contract 'hope' amid Kylian Mbappe transfer admission

Pep Guardiola hopes to keep Ilkay Gundogan at Manchester City but admits he is aware of interest from Barcelona.

Gundogan will become a free agent when his contract expires on June 30, with the German midfielder included in Friday's released list. The 32-year-old is still in talks with the club over a new deal, but is thought to be weighing up his options.

City made a push to keep Gundogan at the Etihad towards the end of the season, following a brilliant run of form in a crucial period through April and May. However the length of a new deal is thought to be a sticking point, with the Blues currently only willing to offer a one-year deal with the option to extend a further 12 months.
