Ilkay Gündoğan has officially returned to the "Manchester City" team.

On Friday, after completing formalities with his former club, the German signed a one-year contract with an option to extend for another 12 months.

P. Guardiola soon commented on this return at a press conference: "Gündoğan's signing raised no doubts.

I received a message from Txiki (the sporting director of "Man City"): 'Ilkay wants to talk to you.' I said 'Okay,' and then my answer was 'Yes.'

I am back 💙 ... and I hope we can continue where we‘ve stopped in Summer 2023. 🏆🏆🏆 Thanks to everyone who made this comeback possible. My seven years in Manchester have been an exceptional period in my life - to have the opportunity to return here means so much. Come on City!… pic.twitter.com/ayKO3Kheuk
