Hansi Flick gives interesting Ilkay Gundogan transfer update

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick believes the veteran midfielder will prolong his stay at Camp Nou despite interest from a few clubs this summer. Gundogan was left out of Barcelona’s tie against Valencia due to fitness concerns.

Flick said: “As you know, he has had some problems and felt a bit dizzy. We agreed that he would stay at home and I have spoken to him to see how he felt, but what we said to each other remains between us. I have the feeling that he will stay.”

The German midfielder has one year left on his contract and his omission from the matchday squad against Valencia led to widespread rumours that Gundogan might sanction a move this summer.
