He has Turkish relatives, both of his parents are Turkish too, and he even said he considers himself more Turkish than German, so surely this move would appeal to him.
Unless he's a Fenerbahce or Besiktas supporter, in which case he might feel differently. In any case, having moved to Barcelona and him znd his wife missing Manchester it could be that they don't want to uproot their young family again.

I hope he stays. We could use his supreme quality and experience.
 
This could mean more minutes for mcatee or o'riely.
I still believe his return impacted foden's minutes to develop a rythm last season
 
Great player, but with new legs in this position and needing to trim the squad, it's the right decision to let him leave

If we can let him, Walker, Grealish, McAtee go, maybe even Kovacic too, we'd free up almost £1m/week in wages and give more gametime to new signings and youngsters

Pretty sure he has said in the past he grew up supporting Galatasaray
 
With Reijnders and Nico added to the squad the last 6 months, Cherki who prefers to play central & Bernardo becomming captai namd confirming hes here to stay...there isn't space for Gundo

Showed his class the end of the season when he had more bodies around him, but his legs ain't coming back and we can't accommodate him when the needs of the squad need legs

Wish him the best, don't think we need a fee as we got him for free, we jsut need the wages and the squad spot

Not much more to say than that.
I'll remember that Cup final against the Rags where he literally dragged us to the win
 
You see Pep’s face when asked about Gundo possible move it was a look off either don’t want to talk about it now while we playing an important competition or it’s a face off no chance he is going if it’s up to me..
 
I was delighted to see him coming back to us. But let's be honest here; it hasn't worked out. He's not the Gundogan that captained us to the treble. He hasn't got the legs any more. With Cherki and Reijnders coming in in, the emergence of Nico last season, Oscar coming back after his injury, McAtee (but will he still be here in august?) and Bernie apparently staying, it's hard to see a place for Ilkay. And at this stage of his career, would he be happy playing a bit part role? I don't think so.

Think he did fine last month of the season and it be him who will want a move just because at his age he will want to play games..
