FC Barcelona remains a club that entices even the most experienced and successful of players. However, changing clubs means much more than simply changing into a new jersey. There are many logistical problems and cultural changes that have to be dealt with by players behind the scenes.
As such, recent days have seen reports covering these topics and how a certain Barcelona star has felt ‘abandoned’ by the Catalan club in terms of help with these issues.
The player in question was former Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan. The German midfielder also made some controversial remarks after El Clasico that reports are still dissecting even now.
A different reality for Gundogan
Moreover, these remarks have even led to some speculating that the 33-year-old misses Manchester City. While this may have gotten attention early on, it appears that the truth could not be further from it. In a recent report by SPORT, a completely different perspective of Gundogan in the city of Barcelona has been shown.
The report claims that Ilkay Gundogan could not be any happier than he is right now in Barcelona. Moreover, while he remains grateful to Manchester for what it gave him, SPORT claims that the player does not regret his decision to come to Spain even slightly.
Loving life in Barcelona
Already well integrated within the city, Gundogan enjoys accommodation in the heart of Barcelona. Currently residing in an apartment, he is on the lookout for a permanent residence in the city as well. Moreover, SPORT suggests that the player is enjoying the nearby facilities and even has a favorite cafe.
The report further claims that Gundogan has even talked to his loved ones regarding Barcelona. After having lived so long in Manchester, the German reportedly can not even imagine how he managed that considering the life that he is currently living in the city of Barcelona.
