"Ilkay Gundogan is fully focused on the Champions League final between Man City and Inter Milan at 2am tomorrow morning (June 11). The midfielder's priority is to negotiate a contract extension if Man City win, but if they fail, he can leave," Marca reported.

Also according to Marca : "Ilkay Gundogan is being pursued by 4 clubs, including Man City who are keen on extending. Next are Barcelona, PSG and Arsenal. Of which, PSG only recently joined, allegedly at the request of coach Julian Nagelsmann, who is negotiating to become the new coach of the Paris team."
Coach Pep Guardiola really wants Ilkay Gundogan to extend his contract with Man City. The 32-year-old German player is currently the captain of the "Man City", this season has contributed 11 goals and 7 assists in 50 matches. He also shares the same views on tactics and playing philosophy as coach Pep Guardiola likes.
"Therefore, if Ilkay Gundogan leaves after his contract expires on June 30 and after the Champions League final, it will probably be a shock for coach Pep Guardiola," Marca newspaper assessed.

Other options include Arsenal, whose manager Mikel Arteta is hoping to sign Ilkay Gundogan to bolster his midfield. Meanwhile, Barcelona have been chasing the player for some time and are believed to have agreed personal terms.
However, Ilkay Gundogan's agent Ilhan Gundogan denied it, stating: "Ilkay Gundogan has not reached an agreement or signed any contract. Any decision will be made after the Champions League final and when the contract expires."
