Arsenal Football Club is rumored to be displaying a firm interest in acquiring the services of Ilkay Gundogan, the talented midfielder from Manchester City, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Gundogan’s current contract with Manchester City is set to expire at the end of this month, and the player is yet to reach a final decision regarding whether he will commit to an extension with the Citizens.
Having achieved tremendous success with Manchester City, including their recent triumph in the Champions League, Gundogan may now seek a new challenge in his career by departing the Etihad Stadium as a free agent. Arsenal appears to be capitalizing on this situation and is considering signing the 32-year-old to reinforce their midfield.
Arsenal’s top priority this summer is to strengthen their midfield department, and they have been linked with various options in recent months. Moises Caicedo and Declan Rice have emerged as primary targets, but Gundogan has also reportedly caught their attention.
Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter to report that Manchester City is eager to retain their star midfielder and has offered him a new one-year contract, with an option to extend for an additional season. However, Gundogan has yet to commit to this renewal and will make his final decision in the near future.
Regarding a potential move to Arsenal, Romano suggests that the North London club has been closely monitoring the situation and is “interested” in signing Gundogan. Thus, should an opportunity arise, Arsenal could make a move to secure the player’s services.
Nevertheless, Romano warns that securing Gundogan’s signature won’t be a straightforward task for Arsenal, as Barcelona is also reportedly eyeing a swoop for the 32-year-old. The Catalan giants have already submitted a three-year contract offer to the German midfielder.
Valued at approximately £21 million by Transfermarkt, Gundogan is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s finest midfielders. If Arsenal can successfully lure him to the Emirates Stadium during the upcoming transfer window, it would undoubtedly bolster their midfield department.
However, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can indeed secure the signing of Gundogan this summer, especially if he ultimately decides to part ways with Manchester City. The situation promises to be intriguing and will be closely followed by football enthusiasts.
