Galatasaray Eye Bosman Move for Ilkay Gundogan Amid Man City Exit Rumours

Galatasaray are plotting a sensational summer swoop for Manchester City maestro Ilkay Gundogan, with the German midfielder set to become a free agent.

According to Fanatik, the Turkish giants are preparing a Bosman move for Gundogan, whose contract at the Etihad Stadium expires at the end of the season. With no signs of a renewal on the table, the 33-year-old’s future at City looks increasingly uncertain.

Midfield Overhaul Incoming at Manchester City?

Pep Guardiola is reportedly dissatisfied with City’s midfield dynamics this season. The expected departure of Kevin De Bruyne has already raised eyebrows, and now Gundogan could follow suit. With both midfield lynchpins out of contract this summer, a major reshuffle appears to be on the cards.

The January signing of Nico Gonzalez hinted at a transitional phase, with Rodri, Matheus Nunes, and Mateo Kovacic set to form the new core. Manchester City are also linked with Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, though the Englishman carries a hefty price tag. A more affordable option in Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt is also on their radar.

Turkish Ties Make Galatasaray a Real Option

Gundogan, whose family roots trace back to Turkey, has long been linked with a move to the Super Lig. Galatasaray could offer him the perfect next chapter – a competitive side with Champions League ambitions and a passionate fan base.

With Victor Osimhen potentially leaving, the Turkish champions are eager to bring in a new star. Gundogan, still brimming with class and experience, could be the marquee signing to elevate their midfield to new heights.
