Barcelona is "God Operation" again! The 33-year-old "Ersa Meng" was forced to leave the team, or signed a 70 million winger

Barcelona's "divine operations" have continued over the years, especially during the period when Bartomeu was in power, otherwise it would not have led to the current high debt. After Laporta re-entered the ownership, he moved forward with a heavy burden at the economic level, and various means took turns to fight, and also achieved certain results, but the "god operation" continued. For example, Xavi's stay and departure at the speed of light, or the spending a lot of money to sign Brazil teenager Roque, now swept out of the house, and then it is Gundogan's turn.

Earlier, authoritative sources such as Romano and TA confirmed that Gundogan's future at Barca is in doubt, and Manchester City intends to return the Germany midfielder! After meeting the required number of appearances last season, Gundogan's contract with Barcelona has been extended for one year, expiring in June 2026. Fabrizio Romano says Manchester City have made contact with Gundogan and Pep Guardiola wants Gundogan to return. Now it seems that Gundogan could return to Manchester City this summer! In addition, Gundogan has also received offers from teams such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Is Gundogan wanting to leave Barca? Apparently not! After winning the treble with Manchester City, Gundogan decided to leave Manchester City in order to realize his "Sona dream". After joining Barcelona, Gundogan also played an important role, making 51 appearances in a season, scoring 5 goals and 14 assists, becoming a veritable "model worker-level thigh" in midfield. Under normal circumstances, the 33-year-old Gundogan would still play an important role at Barcelona and become an absolute workhorse under new coach Flick.

But Barca's situation is "not normal", with players registering before the start of each season. The new La Liga season has begun, but there are still players who have not yet registered, such as Olmo, who spent a lot of money to bring in. The economic means are basically exhausted, and the only way to start is to sell players. And looking around, Gundogan bore the brunt of it.

Gundogan's current annual salary is 18.75 million euros, or about 360,000 per week, with Lewandowski at 33.33 million and De Jong at 37.5 million. Although Lewandowski is old, he is still Barcelona's goal guarantee, in Flick's plan. De Jong's contract is complicated, the player doesn't want to leave, and Barcelona can't do anything, so it can only take Gundogan to "go under the knife". With Gundogan leaving, Barcelona will be able to register at least two players.

Of course, the high annual salary is not the only reason for Gundogan's departure, there are also competitive factors. With the addition of Olmo, and the promotion of Casado, Fermien's steady improvement, Gavi's imminent return, and Gundogan's position has also been impacted. In addition, Gundogan does not fit Flick's style of play. Flick requires simplicity and speed in the midfield and central midfield positions, and it is obvious that Olmo and Ferming are more suitable, while Gundogan is suitable for playing the rhythm of passing and controlling Manchester City. Therefore, Gundogan's departure must have been approved by Flick.

What is certain is that Gundogan will not be the last player to leave Barcelona this summer, and Roque has also been involved in transfer rumours, with both Portuguese and Betis currently interested. In addition, Barcelona is also cleaning up Lenglet, Fati, Christensen and De Jong, if these players leave the team smoothly, it is not ruled out that Barcelona will enlarge the possibility of strengthening the left winger at the last moment of the summer window, such as Nico, let's wait and see!
