Galatasaray face deadline to register Gundogan…
Galatasaray have until 11pm tomorrow to seal the deal for Ilkay Gundogan if they want the midfielder dazzling in their Champions League squad. The Turkish titans are wrestling with Manchester City in this transfer saga, as if it’s a no-holds-barred wrestling match where the prize is not a golden belt but Gundogan himself. With Turkey’s transfer window open until September 12, they aren’t running like Usain Bolt against time like other European clubs but are pressured by UEFA’s squad deadline.
Should Galatasaray snag Gundogan, he might be back at the Etihad as soon as January 28. This could be as awkward as seeing your ex at a party – only this time, he might score against you! To add to the drama, Gundogan’s move from Barcelona didn’t quite work, and he hasn’t played in the Premier League this season. Amidst Pep Guardiola’s squad trimming, it’s like a garage sale where Gundogan may just be the prized item you just can’t let go of, just yet.
