As squad planning for the mid-season transfer window gets underway at Galatasaray, it has been reported that one of the first names expected to leave the team is İlkay Gündoğan.
The experienced player, who is reportedly not in manager Okan Buruk's plans, is expected to part ways with the yellow-red team in January. İlkay Gündoğan has managed to play a total of only 11 minutes in a Galatasaray jersey this season.
Buruk's decision to bring on Renato Nhaga during the Kasımpaşa match was seen as a notable choice regarding İlkay Gündoğan. Following the match, when asked in the mixed zone, “Are you ready for the Barcelona match?” the experienced player replied, “Why would I be ready when I’m not playing?”
It is stated that İlkay Gündoğan, who earns 4 million 500 thousand Euros annually from Galatasaray, has a contract that expires at the end of the season.
İlkay Gündoğan's wife, Sara Gündoğan, had also previously stated, “If you want to ask why he isn't playing, don't ask me, ask your coach.”
