Barcelona want to 'complete the signing of Ilkay Gundogan from Man City TODAY' as 'meetings take place in Munich' to finalise a deal with the Arsenal target

Ilkay Gundogan appears to be on the verge of sealing a move to Barcelona with the LaLiga champions hoping to complete a deal by the end of Wednesday.

Gundogan will become a free agent on June 30 once his Manchester City contract expire and is reportedly braced to become the latest Barcelona signing.

The midfielder is also a target for Premier League runners-up Arsenal who were hoping to lure Gundogan to the Emirates, but it appears Barcelona maintain pole position.

Gundogan has been released by Manchester City, however there is still time for him to agree a contract to extend his stay under Pep Guardiola who recently admitted he 'wishes' the player would remain at the club.
