FC Barcelona continues to face problems with their financial situation. The Catalan club wants to compete with Real Madrid next season, but it keeps getting more difficult as Los Blancos keeps signing great players for a low price, and Barcelona struggles to hold onto stars for the upcoming season. Barcelona will be looking to return to the 1:1 rule this week in order to make some signings during the summer transfer window. But before even attempting to find financial stability, FC Barcelona could be losing one of their most crucial players this summer and might have to find a new club. Toni Juanmartí from Sport reports that FC Barcelona will listen to offers for Ilkay Gundogan because of the FFP situation. Ilkay Gundogan does not want to leave Barcelona. The club will not force him out, either. However, if an opportunity arises, an offer could be considered because of the financial situation. The German midfielder joined FC Barcelona last summer, and he joined as a free agent after not extending his contract with Manchester City.

Gundogan played a total of 51 matches with FC Barcelona in his debut season. He scored five goals and provided 14 assists across all competitions. The German midfielder started most of the games he played in for Barcelona and is seen as one of the leaders of the squad since he has lots of experience at the top level.

The German midfielder is currently with the German national team in EURO 2024. With this new report and rumor, many fans believe that he could potentially return to Manchester City. Some Man City fans believe the player will be open to return to the Premier League champions. His market value is currently above $15 million, according to Transfermarkt.
