Ilkay Gundogan on @ErlingHaaland: "I was so surprised how he could be that talented and still have the will to be even better every day. Never satisfied. There are no limits for him. Messi and Ronaldo are the only comparison for the level he could reach..." [via @PlayersTribune]

Ilkay Gundogan on @stefan_ortega1: "If he wasn’t at #ManCity, I don’t think I would have had the same season. In football, you need those anchors, and Stefan was that for me..." [via @PlayersTribune]

Ilkay Gundogan on the #UCLFinal: "When we got the bus to the hotel, I was sitting near @SCarsonOfficial... He said, 'Don’t worry, boys. Every time I come to Istanbul, I leave with a #UCL trophy.' With Scott in the squad, we couldn’t lose, I suppose..." [via @PlayersTribune]

Ilkay Gundogan: "I'll never forget when I hurt my knee with Dortmund, I was so worried #ManCity would pull out of the deal. But Pep called me and said, 'Don’t worry, it doesn’t change anything. We want you. We'll wait for you no matter how long it takes...'" [via @PlayersTribune]

Ilkay Gundogan: "I think maybe Pep was hoping we'd come to #ManCity together and leave together, but I know he understands my decision. I'm sure it helps I’m going to his boyhood club. Hopefully we’ll have a reunion soon in a #UCL Final..." [via @PlayersTribune]

There has been a feeling at #ManCity in recent days that if they had offered Ilkay Gundogan two guaranteed years, he would have chosen to stay.

‌The general feeling at #ManCity is 'they did what they can within business limits' they set themselves. Gundogan earned the right to receive a pay rise next season, but @ManCity did not want to commit to a multi-year deal with a player turning 33 in October.

Sources close to Ilkay Gundogan say there was no bigger reason behind choosing to leave #ManCity than a desire to live a new experience. Gundogan believes @ManCity are the best team in the world, but Barcelona were also able to convince him on the football side.
