Gundogan: Playing football makes me happy, at least I want to play for two more years, maybe even three or four more years

May 7th News Previously, The Athletic reported that Manchester City had triggered Gundogan's renewal option terms. In an interview with German media Bild, the midfielder also said that he has not considered ending his career.

Gundogan said in an interview: "To be honest, I want to play for several more years: because I completely feel that I am ready for it, I am in very good condition, and I pay attention to my health. I can feel that playing football makes me very happy: not just for another year, but at least two years, maybe even three or four years."

Gundogan does not regret the decision to withdraw from the German national team: "I am still a football player and still play at the top level. So some days I do miss it, and it is also because the players play for those big events. But in the end it is a decision made for the family."

After playing for Manchester City for many years, Gundogan transferred to Barcelona in 2023, but a year later he returned to Manchester City and signed until 2026. The 34-year-old midfielder made 47 appearances for Manchester City this season, contributing 2 goals and 5 assists.
