The incredible coincidence between Piqué and Gündogan that excites Barcelona fans

FC Barcelona continues to strengthen its squad ahead of the upcoming season, and this time they have managed to secure the signing of a European champion. Ilkay Gündogan, the German midfielder who has won all possible titles with Manchester City, is ready to embark on a new adventure in the city of Barcelona.

This situation brings to mind another significant transfer in football history. In 2008, Barcelona signed Gerard Piqué, who was then part of the successful Manchester United team that had achieved the treble under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson. Piqué returned home after his spell in England and having conquered the Champions League in Moscow.

Gündogan's signing for Barcelona generates great excitement among the Culés fans, recalling the influence that Piqué had in his first season at Camp Nou when the team managed to win all possible titles and claimed six trophies in a single calendar year.
The former Manchester City captain is preparing his farewell on social media, with the aim of officially announcing his move to FC Barcelona. It is expected to be a matter of days before the transfer can be officially confirmed.

What he brings

His arrival will bring quality, experience, and leadership to the team led by Xavi Hernández, who has been looking for a signing of this caliber since last summer. The Catalan coach is pleased with the acquisition of Gündogan as he perfectly fits the profile he was seeking to strengthen the midfield.
