Gundogan joins Galatasaray after ‘unforgettable moments’ at Man City

MANCHESTER: Ilkay Gundogan completed a move from Manchester City to Galatasaray on Tuesday, bringing an end to his second spell with the Premier League club. The former Germany international signed a two-year contract with Turkish champion Galatasaray and is the Istanbul club’s latest high-profile recruit during this transfer window after Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sane. Gundogan helped City win five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four English League Cups and the Champions League in his first spell with the club before leaving to join Barcelona in 2023. He returned a year later but was unable to prevent City from enduring their first trophyless season in eight years. “Manchester City will always hold a special place in my heart,” Gundogan said in City’s announcement.
