Manchester City have completed the signing of former captain Ilkay Gundogan from Barcelona on an initial one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.
The German midfielder, who was Pep Guardiola’s first signing at the club in 2016, spent seven years at City before joining Barcelona on a free transfer in 2023.
The 33-year-old won 14 trophies in his first spell at the Etihad, scoring 60 goals in 304 appearances.
“My seven years at Manchester City were a time of pure contentment for me, both on and off the pitch,” said Gundogan.
“Everyone knows the respect I have for Pep – he is the best manager in the world and working with him every day makes you a better player.
