Manchester City Miran reaches an agreement, Champions League champion captain stand-in will soon be airborne Etihad

In the summer of 2023, when Gundogan, wearing the captain's armband, raised his big ear cup surrounded by his teammates, Manchester City fans around the world went crazy. The dream of reaching the top of European football clubs that Blue Moon, who had been struggling for many years, was finally achieved in this moment. With the yellow robe of the Champions League champion, Manchester City officially entered the ranks of European giants.

But soon after, Gundogan left Etihad, who had been playing for seven years, and joined the La Liga giants Barcelona without a visa. Although he is no longer young, Gundogan still has enough playing time in the new environment of the 2023/24 season. He has represented Barcelona in 36 games in various competitions throughout the season, scoring 5 goals and assisting 9 times.

Just when fans thought Gundogan would continue to stay at Camp Nou to play his remaining energy, Gundogan returned to Etihad in the 2024/25 season. The Manchester City midfielder was troubled by injuries and immediately remembered Gundogan. He didn't spend a penny of the transfer fee and asked him back. However, Gundogan is 34 years old after all. His overall condition last season was quite a bit like a heroic twilight, just like a portrayal of the performance of the Blue Moon covering the clouds throughout the season. This new European giant team needs to introduce fresh blood.

Recently, news came out that made Blue Moon fans happy, and Manchester City and AC Milan clubs have reached an agreement in the Reindes trading negotiations. It is reported that Reindes' transfer fee is as high as 58.9 million pounds, which is a great premium compared to his 50 million euro international transfer market value valuation.

In the eyes of many football experts and senior scouts, Reindez is an excellent candidate for the draw for Gundogan. The two have similar styles of play, and they both have the ability to play a bridge between the midfield and the opponent's penalty area through dribbling and passing. Reindes' speed and defensive ability are better than Gundo'an.

Reindez is 26 years old. He is not a precocious genius player. He only gets his debut for the Dutch national team after he is over 25 years old. Reindez joined AC Milan with a transfer fee of 20.5 million euros in the summer of 2023. Last season, Reindez scored 10 goals in a single season in his career.

Gundogan did not face the successful retirement of Etihad because of Reindez's upcoming arrival. He will renew his contract with Manchester City club in less than a month. If nothing unexpected happens, Gundoan will definitely reduce the time of playing next season, but his experience will come in handy at critical moments.
