Manchester City has resigned Ilkay Gundogan from Barcelona on a one-year transfer, with the option of another year after Barcelona terminated his contract following a funding crisis.

This transfer benefits Manchester City in many ways: the retired German international can fill in the void left by Julian Alvarez, who joined Atletico Madrid in a big-money transfer, and can also stand in for Rodri whenever the midfield enforcer is unavailable.

Gundogan spent seven years at the Etihad before leaving last summer, having accomplished a lot for the champions. Gundogan will be available for City’s first home game of the season, which is against Premier League new boys Ipswich Town.
