Manchester City are willing to sign back their former captain Ilkay Gundogan from Barcelona, according to The Athletic.

The 33-year-old has become surplus to requirements at Barca this season.

He left City for the Catalan giants a year ago, but appears to be wanted by Pep Guardiola.

The Cityzens are interested in the Germany international, especially after the injury of Oscar Bobb, who will miss a chunk of this season before returning to action.

Gundogan's deal with Barcelona expires next year, and his current market value is around €15 million, as per Transfermarkt.
