Manchester City are among the clubs exploring the possibility of signing Ilkay Gündogan amid doubts over his Barcelona future.
Clubs in Saudi Arabia, including Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al Nassr, are also interested in the midfielder, who could leave Barcelona after just one season.
A source told ESPN that Barcelona coach Hansi Flick wants Gündogan, 33, to stay, but club bosses are willing to let him leave if the right offer arrives.
Gündogan, who made 51 appearances last season for the Catalan club, has two years left on the contract he signed when he left City on a free transfer last summer.
City are considering signing another midfielder after allowing Kalvin Phillips to join Ipswich Town in a season-long loan deal.
City were keen to keep Gündogan last summer only for the German, who announced his international retirement on Monday, to reject a number of contract offers.
