"Ilkay Gundogan is completely focused on the Champions League final between Man City and Inter Milan at 2am tomorrow morning (June 11). The midfielder's priority is to negotiate an extension if Man City wins, but if he fails, he can leave," Marca said.

Also according to Marca : "Ilkay Gundogan is being pursued by 4 clubs, including Man City who are keen on extending his contract. Next are Barcelona, PSG and Arsenal. Of which, PSG has only recently joined, allegedly at the request of coach Julian Nagelsmann, who is negotiating to become the new coach of the Paris team."
Manager Pep Guardiola is keen to see Ilkay Gundogan extend his contract with Man City. The 32-year-old German is the captain of the "Man City", and has contributed 11 goals and 7 assists in 50 games this season. He also shares the same tactical and playing philosophy as manager Pep Guardiola.
"Therefore, if Ilkay Gundogan leaves after his contract expires on June 30 and after the Champions League final, it will probably be a shock for coach Pep Guardiola," Marca newspaper assessed.

Other options include Arsenal, whose manager Mikel Arteta is hoping to sign Ilkay Gundogan to bolster his midfield. Meanwhile, Barcelona have been chasing the player for a long time and are believed to have agreed personal terms.
However, Ilkay Gundogan's representative Ilhan Gundogan denied it, stating: "Ilkay Gundogan has not reached an agreement or signed any contract. Any decision will be made after the Champions League final and when the contract expires."
