Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

The perfect player disciplined, role model, hard working and knows the club inside out.

Could easily be in the squad and develop coaching skills in some capacity.

If he is available - get him back.
 
It's a huge yes from me. Many footballers these days are great athletes but Gundogen is one of those elite level players who use their brains as well as their skill. Modric is another, still at Real Madrid for a reason. All those extraordinary athletes need ring masters to get them to focus their skills on what is important in a game.
 
Thought I’d seen a link to a Tolmie tweet saying they reminded us he has a £400m buyout clause.
I wouldn't be surprised. IIRC, La Liga rules dictate that every player must have a release clause. They get around this by giving pretty much every top-class player a huge clause that they are confident nobody will ever activate. By extension, nearly every La Liga player goes for much less than their release clause.
 
If Barcelona are not prepared to put down some hard cash for Cancelo why not just a straight swap loan deal ? We take Gundo on a season long loan and they get Cancelo on the same basis.

Isn't the whole reason Gundo is leaving is because Barca need to register new players?

Getting Cancelo for Gundo only adds to the problem for them.
