Manchester City have completed the signing of former captain Ilkay Gundogan from Barcelona on an initial one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
The 33-year-old won 14 trophies in his first spell at the Etihad, scoring 60 goals in 304 appearances. "Everyone knows the respect I have for Pep - he is the best manager in the world and working with him every day makes you a better player.Despite an impressive debut campaign in Spain, Barcelona decided to part with Gundogan after struggling to register new signing Dani Olmo due to the club's financial issues.
"I am leaving in a difficult situation, but if my departure can help the club financially, it makes me a bit less sad," Gundogan wrote on Instagram following the announcement.
