Ilkay Gundogan shared his excitement about returning to Manchester City during his first interview on the club’s official website. He said:
““My seven years at Manchester City were a time of pure contentment for me, both on and off the pitch. I grew as a person and a player, developed a special relationship with the City fans and enjoyed amazing success. It was an exceptional period in my life. To have the opportunity to return here means so much. Everyone knows the respect I have for Pep, he is the best manager in the world and working with him every day makes you a better player. You feel constantly challenged, which for any professional is exactly what you want. I cannot wait to work with him again.”
Gundogan’s return has been well-received by Manchester City fans, who are eager to see the experienced midfielder back in action at the Etihad Stadium.
The German midfielder won 12 major trophies, including five Premier Leagues and the Champions League, in seven years during his first spell at the Etihad Stadium.
