Everything you need to know about Ilkay Gundogan's salary at Manchester City
German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan's journey at the Etihad has been a rather curious one.
Gundogan signed for Manchester City back in 2016 from Borussia Dortmund and quickly became an integral member of the destructive Pep Guardiola side that won every trophy on offer, even captaining them to a treble in the 2022-23 season.
Having spent seven seasons in Manchester, Gundogan made a decision to embark on a new venture as he signed for LaLiga side Barcelona, only to then return to the Etihad just a season later on a free transfer.
Apart from being a top midfielder for the Blues, Gundogan is also one of the top earners at the club. But how much does he make exactly?
