In the meantime, Javi Miguel of AS has supplied some information regarding the agreement that the legendary Manchester City player will sign with Barcelona.
He will receive a three-year contract from the La Liga winners. However, some sources claim it may only be a two-year agreement with a one-year extension option.
Javi Miguel also claims that Gundogan’s deal will have a massive €500 million release clause.
Similar to last summer, when Jules Kounde and Robert Lewandowski were signed, Xavi is thought to have been a significant factor in persuading Gundogan to select Barcelona over Manchester City.
The manager has been speaking often with the seasoned midfielder for some months, and his efforts were instrumental in getting the former Borussia Dortmund star to agree verbally.
With his upcoming arrival, Barcelona will gain another talented midfielder who can boost the squad and serve as a substitute for Pedri, who had difficulty staying healthy the previous season, so that Xavi may relax and rotate. Gundogan is a Muslim by religion.
