For the fact that he is now a member of it barcelona, but also about the fact that things could develop completely differently, spoke o Ilkay Gintogan.
The German midfielder emphasized to “Athletic” that Manchester City he was late to offer him a renewal, but even though he eventually left the club, he added that this was done at the best point, with the “citizens” conquering the treble.
“Manchester City waited a relatively long time before the talks really intensified. If this had happened a little earlier, the situation would have been different. So in the end it was the perfect ending, it couldn’t have come at a better time. It was also my childhood dream to play for Barcelona.
I don’t want to go into details, but it was pretty late in the season. And when it comes to a Champions League quarter-final or semi-final, the players want to focus solely on the sport. I didn’t know what would happen next. I couldn’t plan anything.
Pep’s appreciation was always there, but officially there was no movement from the club for a long time. By May, there was little reason to want to change. The treble was of course a crowning achievement. But this could not have been planned.” were his words Gintogan.
