Barcelona wants to secure his signing and increases the offer for a Champions League winner

The future of Ilkay Gündogan continues to generate expectations in the transfer market, and Barcelona seems willing to go all out to secure his signing. According to the British newspaper The Athletic, the Catalan club has modified its offer to make it more appealing to the German midfielder from Manchester City.

Coach Xavi Hernández sees Gündogan as the ideal player to reinforce the midfield and accompany Pedri in the distribution of the game. However, the player has not yet made a decision about his future as he is evaluating the different offers on the table.

One of the competitors in the race for Gündogan comes from Saudi Arabia, where there is considerable interest in acquiring the player's services. In this situation, Manchester City, under the explicit request of Pep Guardiola, is working on a proposal to convince Gündogan to renew his contract after winning the treble as the team's captain.

In this scenario, Barcelona has decided to take the initiative and improve its offer to reaffirm its interest and convince the German midfielder. According to The Athletic, the original proposal included a three-year contract with a salary of 6 million EUR per season. However, they have now raised the figure to 7.5 million EUR per season.

Before the transfer market opens 

Barcelona is optimistic about the possible signing of Gündogan and hopes that his camp will make a statement before the transfer market opens on June 30th. The club is willing to make an economic effort to secure the arrival of the talented German midfielder and strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
