Ilkay Gündogan has finalized his transfer from Manchester City to Galatasaray, marking the conclusion of his eight-season tenure at the Etihad across two spells.
The seasoned 34-year-old midfielder has committed to a long-term agreement with the Turkish league champions, signaling his return to his ancestral homeland. He formally announced the transition by sharing a photograph showcasing him as a youngster sporting a Gala cap.
Reportedly, Gündogan engaged in discussions with Pep Guardiola in recent days, reaching a consensus that his involvement at City would be somewhat limited in the upcoming season. This understanding paved the way for Galatasaray to swiftly pursue and secure his signature, although the Turkish transfer window remains open until September 11, affording them ample time to finalize the arrangement.
During his stay at City, Gündogan clinched five Premier League titles and the Champions League, establishing himself as a player known for delivering in pivotal moments.
For Galatasaray, this acquisition represents a significant enhancement as they gear up for another European campaign. For Gündogan, it offers the chance to conclude his playing career nearer to his roots while continuing to compete at an elite level.
