Pep Guardiola has expressed his love for Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan as they chase yet another Premier League title.
Gundogan was Guardiola's first signing in charge at City when he joined the club from Borussia Dortmund for just £21million in 2016 and has gone on to make more than 200 appearances in all competitions.
However, the World Cup-winning Germany international's future at the Etihad is in doubt, with the player's contract set to expire at the end of the season.
Reports earlier this month suggested that the 32-year-old could be headed to La Liga to join Barcelona on a two-year deal.
