FC Barcelona announced on Monday (26) that 32-year-old Gundogan will join the team as a free agent, and both parties will sign a 2+1-year contract. According to insiders, Gundogan's annual salary is as high as 9 million euros (about 76.7 million Hong Kong dollars), and the default fee is as high as 400 million euros (about 3.4 billion Hong Kong dollars).
In the past season, Gundogan was the captain of Manchester City and led the team to win the Triple Crown. He himself made 51 appearances in the season, scoring 11 goals and 7 assists. Although it was widely expected that he would extend his contract with City, City only offered him a 1+1 year deal, which is a full year less than Barcelona's 2+1 year.
In addition to Manchester City, Arsenal is also eyeing the German midfielder, and if Gendujan agrees to join, he will face an embarrassing situation in the Premier League next season with his old boss. In addition, there is also news that the Saudi rich businessman also threw out the olive branch to Gendujan, offered a very tempting contract, but was Gendujan decisively rejected.
