The German international recently underwent medical tests in Munich and subsequently met Mateu Alemany to finalize the agreement, signifying a significant step towards completion.
Despite facing stiff competition, Barcelona succeeded in securing Gundogan’s signature, as the midfielder rejected contract renewal offers from Manchester City and a further proposal from Arsenal. His decision to join Barcelona demonstrates the club’s allure and ambition, positioning them favorably amidst negotiations.
This breakthrough in acquiring Gundogan serves as a testament to the club’s relentless pursuit of talented players and sets the stage for further exciting developments during the summer transfer window.
