Barcelona's Gundogan set to return to Man City

What at first seemed like rumours is about to become one of the strangest moves of the summer. Ilkay Gundogan, the FC Barcelona player who joined the 'Cules' last summer, is on the verge of leaving Barcelona to return to Manchester City.
The financial needs of the Catalan side and the plans of coach Hansi Flick with the player have pushed him to leave the club just 12 months after his arrival. According to ‘AS’, the deal is practically done, as the Sky Blues' coach Pep Guardiola has already spoken to the player and given the green light for his return to the Etihad Stadium.
According to the information, Gundogan made the definitive decision to leave FC Barcelona after that talk with the coach from Santpedor. His departure will be welcomed at Barca, because even if the team loses at a sporting level (he was one of the club's best last season), the Catalan team needed him to leave in order to labance therir books (Gundogan's salary is around 10 million euros net).
Now, with Guardiola's green light to the player and the player himself to his return, all that remains is for Manchester City and Ilkay Gundogan to come to an agreement on contractual matters, although everything seems to indicate that there will be no problem in this regard due to the willingness of both parties to rejoin their paths.
