Ilkay Gundogan has bade farewell to his former teammates and fans as he rejoins his old club Manchester City after just 1 year at the Spanish club.
According to Gundogan, it has been a time of difficulty and joy while at the club, and he would have loved to stay longer.
“Dear Culers, after just one year, it’s already time to say goodbye. I came here to face a new, exciting challenge, and I was ready for it. I have given everything to fight for the team and the club in the best possible way in a difficult season, and I was looking forward to helping my teammates in the new campaign. Now I am leaving in a difficult situation, but if my departure can help the club financially, it makes me a bit less sad.
Nevertheless, it’s been a time with incredible experiences and ups and downs—I always wanted to play at Barça, and I am very grateful for a memory and experience that I will remember for my life. I wish you the best for the season and for the future. The fans deserve to get this big club back to the world’s best,” said Gundogan.
