German Midfielder Set to Return to Former Club

Ilkay Gündogan is reportedly close to rejoining Manchester City just one year after leaving the club at the end of the 2022-23 season.

The German midfielder, who captained Manchester City, is keen to leave Barcelona before the transfer window closes, according to reports.

Successful Seven-Year Stint at Manchester City

During his seven-year stint with Manchester City from 2016 to 2023, Gündogan won 14 trophies and played a key role in the club's success.

Trophies Won with Manchester City:

• 4 Premier League titles
• 4 EFL Cups
• 1 FA Cup
• 2 Community Shields
• 3 Champions League runners-up

Gündogan's return to Manchester City would be seen as a significant boost for the club, who are looking to regain the Premier League title from Arsenal.

Nottingham Forest in Hunt for Feyenoord Forward

In other transfer news, Nottingham Forest are reportedly looking to sign Feyenoord forward Santiago Giménez, according to German journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Giménez, a 22-year-old Mexican international, has scored 20 goals in 49 appearances for Feyenoord this season.

Transfer Market Set to Close

With just a few days remaining before the summer transfer window closes, clubs are scrambling to finalize their squads.

Manchester City's potential acquisition of Gündogan and Nottingham Forest's pursuit of Giménez are just two of the many deals that could still be completed before the deadline.
