Ilkay Gündogan has left Manchester City to join Galatasaray in a move that ends his eight-year stay at the Etihad over two periods.
💛❤️🦁–
The 34-year-old midfielder agreed to a multi-year contract with the Turkish champions, returning to his family's homeland and announced the move with a photo of himself wearing a Gala cap as a child.
Reportedly, Gündogan spoke with Pep Guardiola in recent days and agreed that his role at City would be limited this season. The decision opened the door for Galatasaray, who acted quickly to sign him, although with the Turkish market open until September 11, there was no rush to close the deal.
During his time at City, Gündogan lifted five Premier League titles and the Champions League, earning a reputation for stepping up in decisive moments.
For Galatasaray, the signing is a major boost ahead of another European campaign. For Gündogan, it's the opportunity to end his career closer to home and continue competing at the highest level.
