Barcelona outraged all Argentine fans with the news that it confirmed this Monday: Ilkay Gündogan was announced as a new reinforcement. After the Catalan team could not send a formal offer to Lionel Messi due to his alleged financial problems and his inconvenience in complying with the Financial Fair Play, now everything seems to have been solved by magic.

The captain of the Argentine National Team wanted to return to the Camp Nou and the Barcelona fans had been excited about his return, but Joan Laporta never sent the proposal and Leo chose to accept the offer he had from Inter Miami. Now, Gundogan arrives in Spain in the same condition that Messi would have done and what most outrages the followers of '10' is the salary that the former Manchester City player will have.

La Pulga had already made it clear that, if it was up to him, he was playing for minimum wage. However, Barcelona did not want to sign him and now offers his new reinforcement a salary that exceeds what he earned in England. According to Diez, Gündo will go from receiving 10 million per season, two more than what he received in Manchester.

Gundogan's exorbitant clause in Barcelona

The Catalan club announced the signing through a statement in which it gave contractual details, including the clause that the German will have. "The player will sign for two seasons, until June 30, 2025, plus an optional one and will have a termination clause of 400 million euros," reads the letter from the Blaugrana team.
