EXCLUSIVEIlkay Gundogan's move to Barcelona 'left me shocked', admits Sara Gundogan... as she reveals she was on holiday when she received the news and 'didn't take it seriously'

Sara Gundogan has revealed she was caught by surprise when she found out Ilkay Gundogan was joining Barcelona last summer.

Sara, previously Sara Arfaoui, started dating the Barcelona and Germany star in 2021 before they tied the knot a year later. They have one son together, Kais, who was born in March 2023.

Sara is one of the stars of Prime Video's new series Married To The Game which follows the lives of five football WAGS, aiming to give in an insight into the reality of dating a top-level footballer.

Ilkay moved to the Catalan giants upon the expiry of his contract with Man City after they fought off competition from several clubs, including City's attempts to retain the 33-year-old.
