Ilkay Gundogan has re-signed with Manchester City after his contract with Barcelona was mutually terminated. City have paid no fee for Gundogan\'s services.
\"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 the best possible way in a difficult season and I was looking forward to helping my teammates in the new campaign,\" Gündogan said in a message posted to X before City announced his return.
\"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.\"
