When Ilkay Gundogan added another two goals to his growing collection of big-game braces for Manchester City on Saturday, it was only natural that more questions would follow about his future.
Out of contract this summer, Gundogan is no closer to signing a new contract as he will leave the decision until after the Champions League final. Pep Guardiola has told City that he wants his captain to stay, and reiterated that stance after the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Gundogan - fairly - declined to answer questions on his future seven days before one of the biggest games of his career, although reports have since followed that the German is closer to agreeing a new contract after some movement in talks with City.
