Qatar pursues Gundogan

Qatari football is looking to respond to the million-dollar transfer spree that Saudi Arabia has carried out in recent seasons. Qatar’s top clubs are eager to respond and are once again targeting the great European powers in search of players of proven quality willing to gamble on a million-dollar contract.

According to information provided by TV3, Ilkay Gundogan will be in the sights of Qatari Al-Sadd. Xavi Hernandez’s former club would contact the player to assess his suitability for a new football adventure away from FC Barcelona.

According to the same sources, The German midfielder will be considering whether to accept Qatar’s million dollar offer or to speed up his contract as a Barca player and even explore a possible improvement and extension.

Uncertain future

Barca are delighted with Ilkay Gundogan’s performance. The German was not only one of the most consistent players last season, but was also a mainstay of his team during the Eurocup. However, Can Barça’s economic needs are more pressing, and Ilkay’s departure will free up space in a busy midfield and one of the highest-ranking players in the current squad.

During the season, the Germany international has already shown his disapproval of the conformism found in the Barça dressing room and has caused some controversy with his statements about certain behaviours.
