Barcelona star Ilkay Gündogan traveled to Turkey in recent hours, sparking a wave of questions about the reason behind it.
Gündogan has been linked with a move to Fenerbahçe after it was said that Jose Mourinho had asked his management to fight for the signing of the German international.
Immediately, rumors began to spread that Gündogan’s trip to Turkey was to negotiate directly with the Fenerbahçe administration about a potential transfer to the historic club.
It is well known that Barcelona needs to sell at least one player to be able to make other deals after Dani Olmo, and president Joan Laporta welcomes the sale of Gündogan.
The newspaper “Sport” said in turn that the 33-year-old’s trip to Turkey has nothing to do with his departure, but rather was a use of the rest period that Hansi Flick granted to Barcelona players after the end of the US tour.
According to the Catalan newspaper, Gündogan will be shooting an advertisement for a Turkish product, and this is the main reason for his departure.
The newspaper also confirms that Gündogan is very happy at Barcelona and does not intend to leave, and that his departure will only happen if Laporta’s management insists on it.
