LaLiga giant, Barcelona have complete the signing of Champions League winner, Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City as a free agent.
Gundogan, who capped the team to treble winner during the just concluded season is out of contract with City at the end of the month and has agreed to join Barca on a two-year deal with the option for a third year.
The 32, release clause has been fixed at €400 million.
Speaking, the German said “Today is bittersweet. Goodbyes are never easy, but it’s even harder with this team,” Gundogan wrote in the Players Tribune.
“When I had to break the news to the boys that I was leaving in our group chat, I was very emotional. I will miss all of them, honestly. But I am happy to say that I’m leaving here as a champion, and I have nothing but love for the club in my heart. How many footballers can say goodbye as the captain of a treble team?
“It’s amazing what we achieved. Five Premier League titles in my seven years here. Two FA Cups. The Champions League. The treble. But those are just trophies. The thing that I will remember the most is the feeling inside the squad, especially this season. I’ve never experienced something like it in football.”
