Gundogan: It s very good to work with Xavi but Real Madrid is too strong. I realize Barcelona supports me to leave

May 9th In an interview with Biography, Manchester City midfielder Gundogan talked about the reasons for leaving Barcelona before. He said that he and Xavi worked well, but Real Madrid was too strong at that time.

Gundogan said: "I have always dreamed of playing for Barcelona, ​​and I realized that dream. In April 2024, Xavi and I had a conversation about the future. By the way, I think Xavi is a good coach. I worked well with him, but Real Madrid is too strong."

"They originally signed me to let me bring experience to the team and the club. In the end, I felt that leaving was better, and within the club, I also realized that they supported me to leave, mainly for financial reasons, although I thought it was a very good season. I was the kind of person who would not cause trouble during the contract period."

"Frick and I have been getting along well. After the holiday, I really want to play football with him again. I look forward to talking to him, but that's not the case. It's obvious that the club has other plans. Frick contacted me on my birthday and I'm so happy that I sincerely congratulate him and Barcelona on their success."

"My wife Sarah thought of an idea, and she said half-jokingly, 'Call Guardiola'! I called the next day and Guardiola said, 'I'd love to let you come back'. That's it, everything is fine now, I'm comfortable in Manchester, and I believe we will return to the top level sooner or later."
