Chelsea Newsnow: SPORT has reported that Chelsea is interested in acquiring Ilkay Gundogan. If Vincent Kompany is hired as the Blues’ next manager, the club will chase the experienced German defender. Barça, though, has their sights set on Manchester City’s captain.
Since moving to Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund, Ilkay Gundogan has become a top midfielder in the Premier League. The 32-year-old has consistently delivered. His contributions have been crucial to the club’s success in the Premier League. As of yet, he has not been replaced as a starter for the German national team.
In 293 games played, the experienced midfielder has helped Manchester City to 54 goals and 38 assists. However, there is some concern over his long-term future for the Premier League winners. And Gundogan, who can leave Manchester City for free this summer, almost certainly will. Barcelona and Chelsea are both paying close attention to this scenario.
The Catalan club has had their eye on the German international for quite some time. It has been widely reported that Manchester City’s captain is eager to join the Blaugrana. Meanwhile, Sergio Busquets’s unclear future at Spotify Camp Nou makes the interest in the player obvious.

Chelsea’s apparent interest in the veteran midfielder comes as a surprise given the club’s January acquisition of Enzo Fernandez. on addition, both Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante will remain on Chelsea’s roster. However, if Vincent Kompany is hired as Chelsea’s next manager, the Blues are expected to go on the attack to sign Manchester City’s captain.
The Burnley manager reportedly does not wish to leave Turf Moor, despite recent rumours to the contrary. So it’s quite improbable that Chelsea would hire Kompany to replace Graham Potter. Since Gundogan is getting closer to departing Premier League winners Manchester City, Barcelona should have a clean shot at signing him.
Although it has been widely reported that Ilkay Gundogan will leave Manchester City this summer on a free transfer, the player insists he has not yet made a decision. Barcelona are said to have spoken with the German international’s agent to discuss a possible transfer. Gundogan claims that talks are ongoing, but that he has not yet chosen where he will play football next season.
