"Man City struggles to extend contract with I. Gundogan"

"Man City" team may lose the safety of Ilkay Gundogan.

As reported by the website "Goal", the "Cityzens" are making every effort to extend the contract expiring this summer with the 28-year-old German, but so far success has not visited them.

According to the press, I. Gundogan is afraid that in the coming season he will become less important in coach Josep Guardiola's game schemes and accordingly will have fewer opportunities to perform on the field.

It is said that if the situation does not change, "Man City" will be forced to sell the footballer next summer.

Earlier, the strategist of the "Premier" league club said: "If Ilkay was one hundred percent convinced, the contracts would have already been signed."

I. Gundogan arrived in England in 2016, when "Man City" paid £20 million to Dortmund's "Borussia" team.

In this English season, the safety scored 5 goals and made 2 assists in 24 matches.
