The former Germany international returned to the club last summer from Barcelona and signed a one-year deal, with the option to extend for another year. Asked about Gundogan’s future today, Guardiola said, “Gündo has one more year contract, definitely. What's going to happen in the summer? I don't know, but he has one-year contract now,” says Pep Guardiola. How it affects Galatasaray The Cim-Bom have been keen on bringing Gundogan to the club. They made moves before he returned to Manchester City, and upon his reunion with Guardiola, they plotted a move for the summer of 2025, when the guaranteed year in his contract runs out. Pep's announcement confirmed that Manchester City are satisfied with the midfielder of Turkish descent and will be keeping him for one more season, which effectively forces the Super Lig champions to look elsewhere for their midfield needs next summer.
