Gundogan joins Galatasaray after 'unforgettable moments' at Man City

Ilkay Gundogan has completed a move from Manchester City to Galatasaray, bringing an end to his second spell with the Premier League club

SEPTEMBER 2 • Associated Press

Seals move to Galatasaray Gundogan has completed a transfer to Galatasaray from Manchester City, according to his former club.

Impact Gundogan's second stint at City has ended after one season, one he would probably like to forget, with the midfielder now off to Turkey. He had ultimately fallen out of favor with the club as new transfers joined this campaign despite starting in 25 of his 33 appearances last season. This will likely end his time with the club for good, racking in 358 appearances and 65 goals with the club, while winning 14 trophies, including five Premier League titles, a historic treble and captaining a UCL-winning squad. He will now look to see regular minutes while in Turkey, a place where he should still have success and fit the playing style more as he raises in age.

Starting role in return to City Gundogan started in 25 of his 33 appearances while notching one goal on 27 shots and six assists on 44 chances created to go along with 60 crosses in the Premier League.

Impact Gundogan returned to City after one season with Barcelona and was right back where he left the club, starting only two games after returning to the club and not giving that spot up. However, he would see a major drop in his goal contributions with seven compared to his 12 in his last season with the club, as he did have to take on more of a defensive role. He did see an automatic clause triggered for an extra year on his contract and hopes to remain with the club. That said, his future still seems uncertain as the club plans to bring some youth into their midfield.
