On the 22nd (Korean time), the British daily `The Sun' released a photo of Gündogan visiting a restaurant in Manchester in a clean shirt and signing autographs to citizens.
Gündogan's restaurant 'TAST' is owned by none other than Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. Guendoan's purpose was also a meeting rather than a meal, and he talked for about 50 minutes, the Sun reported.
At this point, it is safe to say that it is 'self-official' (self + official). Turkiye's big clubs, including Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, reached out, but Gündogan's mind seems to have been focused on Manchester City's return.
Transfer experts and local media, including Fabrizio Romano, report that Gündogan, who left Manchester City last summer to join Barcelona, will return to Manchester City on a free contract that does not incur transfer fees.
Gündogan, who played a key role in Barcelona last season with 5 goals and 9 assists in 51 games, was excluded from the opening game of La Liga this season, raising questions about his future.

Gündoan's wife unfollowed the Barcelona club's SNS, perhaps because of her disappointment with the Barcelona club. The transfer proceeded without a hitch. Unless abnormal findings are found in medical tests, the official is expected to appear for some time.
Gündogan is expected to be Manchester City's second recruit this summer. Earlier, he signed Brazilian winger Savinho, who played for France's Truia.
Gündoan made his professional debut at Bochum, went through Nuremberg and Borussia Dortmund, and moved to Manchester City, where Guardiola had just taken the helm, and played for as many as seven years.
With his undulating performance every season, he has lifted 14 trophies, including five Premier League, two FA Cups, four League Cups and one European Champions League. In the 2022-2023 season, he was the main player of the first treble in Manchester City's history.
Gündogan, who has a natural sense of soccer and world-class pass ability, played 82 A matches (19 goals) for Germany for 13 years from 2011 to this year. Declared retirement after completing Euro 2024.
