The 32-year-old has a contract until June 2025 with an option for a further year, while the Spanish champions also said they had included a buyout clause of 400 million euros.

Gundogan left City after captaining the English club to the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble last season, ending a successful seven-year stint in England where he won 14 trophies, including five league titles.

“For me it has been a total privilege and pleasure to be part of Manchester City for the last seven years,” Gundogan said in a statement. “Manchester has been my home and I have felt part of a very special family at City.

“I have been lucky to have experienced so many unforgettable moments in my time here and to have been captain for this extra special season has been the greatest experience of my career.”

Gundogan was Pep Guardiola’s first recruit when he took over at City in 2016.

Gundogan leaves City having made over 300 appearances, scoring 60 goals and grabbing 40 assists in all competitions.
