This has been the second consecutive year that Gundogan has completed its transfer with "0 transfer fee". Last summer, in order to register other players, Barcelona chose to terminate the contract with Gundogan, who had a high salary, who returned to his old club Manchester City. At that time, Gundogan gave up his high salary for the remaining two years of contract at Barcelona (annual salary exceeds 18 million euros).
But after returning to Manchester City, Gundogan's form has declined seriously, especially in the first half of last season, his performance was criticized by fans. In the 2024/25 season, Gundogan contributed 5 goals and 8 assists in 54 games for Manchester City, and his weekly salary is about 230,000 pounds.
Gundogan did not play for Manchester City in three Premier League games in the new season. According to Romano, Manchester City released the transfer for free, but also saved the players' wages in the last two months. Gundogan will receive an annual after-tax salary of 4.5 million euros in Galatasaray.
