Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester City skipper Ilkay Gundogan has joined Barcelona on a deal until June 30, 2025, the Spanish club said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old’s contract includes an option to stay for one more season and a buyout clause of \u20ac400 million.<\/p>\n

The English club said the move brings “an end to a hugely successful seven-year stay.”<\/p>\n

“For me it has been a total privilege and pleasure to be part of Manchester City for the last seven years,” Gundogan said about his time with the Citizens, “Manchester has been my home and I have felt part of a very special family at City.”<\/p>\n

“I would like to thank Pep. To have been able to play under and learn from him for so long has been something I will never forget,” he said about his former manager, Josep Guardiola, who is also a Barcelona legend.<\/p>\n

Gundogan, who joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in July 2016, netted 60 goals in 304 appearances for the Citizens.<\/p>\n

He bagged the 2023 UEFA Champions League trophy, five English Premier League titles and two FA Cup trophies during his time with the Manchester side.<\/p>\n
