CorSport: Milan join Barcelona in race for Man City midfielder Gundogan

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are on the hunt for potential opportunities to strengthen the squad using free transfers and Ilkay Gundogan’s name has emerged as a target.

As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) reports this morning, Milan are very attentive to the opportunities to sign players for no transfer fee, with Marco Sportiello set to arrive from Atalanta and Daichi Kamada from Eintracht Frankfurt when their deals run out.

The Rossoneri management have taken a liking to the strategy of taking advantage of free transfers and they have thrown their hats into the ring in the Gundogan sweepstakes.

The paper even claims that English sources are convinced the Rossoneri are already at an advanced stage of negotiations with the 32-year-old midfielder, who has been with Manchester City since 2016.

However, everything would be postponed to the days following the Champions League final in which the Citizens are engaged with Inter.

Milan would overcome competition led by Barcelona and would thus give Pioli a player who possesses class and experience. In the coming days we will understand how much truth there is in these rumours.

  1. It is beþer to stop Spending Loftus cheek and spend the 15M olus Bonus turn to Gondogan’s Salary and sign Two year Contract plus addional one as an Option.
    He is the Primary Factor behind the city wins.

    1. Agreed this rumor is likely bogus /click bait.

      Sure he’s older but a class above RLC , proven quality. As most are saying here, his salary demands will likely be far outside our means.

      Given we’ve managed to convince Theo and recently Leao to accept our strict budget there’s no way in hell we’d now break it, even for a top notch player like Gundogan.

      He’ll likely end up at Barca, this is just paper talk.

  2. “English sources are convinced”…
    Well, they probably aren’t aware of the salary level in Italy. He must earn at least twice as much as our salary cap.

  3. I wish this is true. World class midfielder, he would be a great addition to the team, especially if that rules out loftus cheek.
