Barcelona reach agreement to sign Gundogan in summer (reliability: 3 stars)

Barcelona have reached an agreement with Ilkay Gundogan that he will join them for free in the summer, reports El Chiringuito's Jose Alvarez.

The German's current deal with Manchester City expires in July, so he is already free to discuss his future with other clubs.

Gundogan is a central midfielder. However, Xavi's reported idea is to play him in Sergio Busquets' position as an attack starter.

The 32-year-old has registered 4 goal contributions in 25 matches for Manchester City this season.
