Ilkay Gundogan has revealed why he’s leaving Barcelona.
In an open letter to Barcelona fans, he revealed the reason for his sudden move away from the club.
The 33-year-old has sealed a return to Manchester City only one year after he left as a free agent.
Gundogan has now revealed that he was forced to leave because of Barca’s financial issues.
“Now I am leaving in a difficult situation, but if my departure can help the club financially, it makes me a bit less sad.
“Nevertheless, it’s been a time with incredible experiences and ups and downs—I always wanted to play at Barça, and I am very grateful for a memory and experience that I will remember for my life.
“I wish you the best for the season and for the future. The fans deserve to get this big club back to the world’s best,” the letter read in part.
