There has been speculation in the media today that Ilkay Gundogan is a target for AC Milan, with the Manchester City midfielder’s contract set to expire at the end of the month.
As MilanNews writes, it was this morning that Corriere dello Sport director Ivan Zazzaroni told Radio Dee Jay that the midfielder would like to move to Italy: “I think Gundogan wants to come to Italy, from what we know he is getting closer to Milan.”
There are more than just footballing reasons that Gundogan might be enticed by the idea of a move to Milan. In June last year, he married Sara Benamira, a well-known model and TV presenter of Tunisian origins who began her modeling career in Milan.
The location chosen – in great secrecy – was Villa Borromeo in Cassano d’Adda in Lombardy, about 30km from Milaneo. On March 15 of this year the couple had a son, Kais Gundogan, who was born in Milan. The couple are therefore linked to Italy for emotional issues.
Some time ago the model – who has a large following on social media – unleashed quite a fuss when answering questions from followers about food in the UK.
“I’m sorry to be honest, but nobody. I’m tired of not finding a good restaurant, the food is horrible everywhere. I can’t find a real Italian restaurant or good sushi or even fresh food… it’s all frozen,” she said.
“The restaurants here focus on making money with drinks, they are all nightclubs, they don’t focus on quality food Maybe in London but nothing in Manchester. I’m sorry.”
