hi this is for ED002, apparently I've heard rumours that we are trying to buy Ilkay Gundogan from BVB, is they're any truth to that please.

{Ed002's Note - Gundogan was refusing to agree a new deal and Dortmund were willing to let him leave as he was seen as a shadow of his former (pre-injury) self. A couple of clubs were interested, including Manchester United and Manchester City, but an approach about his availability was responded to that a three year extension has been agreed between the club and player and details are being finalised. However, since then he has again refused to sign the contract with Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal rekindling their interest. Two recent additions that should be noted: (1) Although Barcelona are unable to sign players before 2016 they have approached Borussia Dortmund to agree a deal now that will be completed next January as their rebuilding begins. This would mean committing to waiting until January with the rest of the season probably on loan, which will suit Barcelona, but perhaps not the player (2) A retired German International suggested to me a few days ago that Bayern Munich will offer Goetze as part of a deal for Gundogan.}

no to discredit your source and it may very well be true but Bayern would be mad to do that in my opinion

{Ed002's Note - It has far from worked out well for Goetze at Bayern Munich.}
