Pep Guardiola wants Ilkay Gundogan to stay at Manchester City next season and has offered a withering response to 'great Twitter accounts' linking the midfielder with a move away from the Premier League title chasers.
Germany midfielder Gundogan's City contract expires at the end of next season, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed on Tuesday that there were 'serious chances' for the playmaker to leave the club.
Barcelona and German clubs are said to be interested in Gundogan, and Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who worked with him during his time as Guardiola's assistant, is reportedly keen if Arsenal's unlikely pursuit of Champions League qualification succeeds on the final day of the season.
