€36 Million German International Close To Old Trafford Switch


Reports have emerged in the Mirror Newspaper that Manchester United target, Ilkay Gundogan has been told by his club Borussia Dortmund to make up his mind on his future.

The 36 Million midfielder, who is one of the most sought-after midfielder in Europe, is still to sought out his contract which expires soon. As he continues to dither on the signing of a new deal, rumours continue to grow of Moyes’ interest in bringing him to Old Trafford.

Man United are in need of a world-class midfielder like the German international to replace retired Paul Scholes, whose vacuum is creating a lot of problems for the team. The player, who is one of the key players of the Jurgen Klopp’s managed Dortmund team is also under the radar of Arsenal who themselves need a box to box midfielder to replace Song that left for Barca 2 seasons ago.

So highly rated is Gundogan that Spanish giants Madrid are also interested in his signature. His inclusion in the current Man United team will in no little way help the David Moyes team find their form and savage whatever is left in the current season.

With his club now demanding answers as regards his future from him, it would seem all is not well between both parties; and this could be some good news for Man United as they plan to launch a bid for player who has just a season and half left in his current contract.

According to the Mirror, his club’s sporting director Michael Zorc, was quoted to have told German newspaper Kicker that Dortmund are "not fond of ultimatums," the "other party needs to understand."

"Our top priority is to find out if there is a willingness to prolong the contract,"Zorc was quoted to have said in Kicker.

As things stand, it does look like the player doesn’t wish to renew, which could be in Man United’s favour. If it does happen that he gets to the end of current season without renewing his contract; then the possibility of Dortmund holding to the highly rated midfielder will become even slimmer.

I am cure we could do with a player of his class as the midfield appears to be our biggest headaches.
