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
