Galatasaray, which is continuing its mid-season transfer efforts, is reported to have spoken with İlkay Gündoğan, whose contract with Manchester City will expire at the end of the season. The salary offered by the yellow-reds to the German footballer of Turkish descent has also been revealed.

GALATASARAY'S OFFER

According to a report in The Sun, Galatasaray is ready to cover İlkay Gündoğan's weekly salary of £150,000 for 2 years. This amounts to over £7 million annually.

HE MAY JOIN GUARDIOLA'S TEAM

On the other hand, the report mentioned that it is also an option for İlkay Gündoğan to stay at Manchester City and later be part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff. It was noted in the report that it is difficult for İlkay Gündoğan, who is a Galatasaray fan, to make a choice.

WHAT DID OKAN BURUK SAY?

Recently, Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk responded to a question about İlkay Gündoğan, saying, "Every team wants İlkay Gündoğan. İlkay is a good Galatasaray fan. If he wears the Galatasaray jersey one day, he will make the fans happy. He is currently playing for Manchester City and will continue there until the end of the season. Today, Sara's performance was amazing. Let me give credit to our midfielders. We are looking for a player who is similar to Mauro Icardi's profile but more mobile since he got injured. We want a player who can be used both on the wings and in the center. I am very pleased with the players I have. To achieve success in Europe and in the cup, the squad needs to be wide. We want to reinforce both defense and attack," he stated.

İLKAY'S SEASON PERFORMANCE

İlkay Gündoğan has played 26 matches this season for Manchester City, 19 of which were as a starter. In these matches, İlkay has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist. The current market value of the 34-year-old star midfielder is €10 million, and his contract with the English team, which he returned to at the beginning of the season, will expire at the end of the season.
