Report: Qatar’s Al-Sadd plot shock move for ex-Man City midfielder

Al-Sadd - Manchester City

Qatari side Al-Sadd have reportedly made an offer to sign former Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan this summer.

Gundogan has been a key part of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side over the years before departing the Cityzens to join Barcelona last year.

The German signed a two-year contract with the Catalan club, but his future at Camp Nou has come under speculation following latest reports.

According to Spanish channel TV3, Al-Sadd have already offered a lucrative three-year deal to Gundogan, which could tempt the midfielder into making a move to the Middle East, despite having a year left on his contract with Barcelona.

A potential transfer to Al-Sadd would mark a significant coup for the Qatari club, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

Al-Sadd have a history of attracting high-profile players, and the addition of Gundogan would further bolster their midfield options.

Negotiations between the clubs are reportedly yet to take place, with Gundogan keen on the prospect of a new challenge in the Qatari Stars League.

The 33-year-old had 19 goal contributions in 54 games for Barcelona last season, scoring five goals while assisting 14 times.
