Gundogan agreed to move to the Nou Camp last summer after spending seven glorious years with the Cityzens, and the Gelsenkirchen-born star is already in contact with his former coach Pep Guardiola regarding a potential return. Other teams are interested in signing the 33-year-old central midfielder, including former club Borussia Dortmund and German giants Bayern Munich.

Gundogan had been left out of Barcelona's squad for their last game, and rumours regarding a move away followed shortly thereafter.
