Ilkay Gundogan has once again been in sensational form for Manchester City this season, scoring 7 goals despite operating in a different role due to the arrival of Erling Haaland.
Gundogan on the move?
The German scored two goals over the weekend in the win over Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium and, speaking after the game to the press, Pep Guardiola made it clear he wanted Gundogan to continue.
İlkay Gündoğan completed 170 passes against Leeds, the most by a player in a Premier League game this season.

"It's not necessary to score two goals to know exactly how I like this player and enjoy working with him and how I'd like to work with him in the future."
Barcelona keen on Gundogan
The midfielder's current deal at the Etihad Stadium expires in June and, despite Guardiola's comments 90min reports that Gundogan is currently edging towards a move to Barcelona.
The 32-year-old's departure would be a big blow to Pep Guardiola who now seems set to miss out on Jude Bellingham this summer, with the midfielder reportedly on his way to Real Madrid.
