Barcelona terminated the contract and sent Gundogan away Reason: Save 20 million euros in salary, 70% of which is registered with Olmo

The 33-year-old Germany captain has retired from the Germany team and could have played for the club with peace of mind this season, but just a year after joining Barca without a visa, Gundogan was released from his contract and returned to Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola approving the return of the former Blue Moon captain.

So the question is, why did Barcelona terminate Gundogan's contract?The main reason is "poverty" and the need to free up salary space for new signings to register.

According to Catalan media ARA, Gundogan's salary this season has increased significantly compared with last season (increasing year by year), with an annual salary of up to 20 million euros, second only to De Jong and Lewandowski in the team. If Gundogan leaves, Barcelona can use 70% of his salary to register Olmo, who was excluded from Barca's 2-1 win at Valencia in the first round of La Liga.

Barcelona's current policy is to increase the annual salary year by year to bring in reinforcements, and when the player's salary increases, he will try his best to "drive away". After Barça "ousted" Gundogan, they can also warn Manchester City's Portugal midfielder B that joining Barca is not a good policy, Laporta loves to draw a big pie, and of course it is also a warning to other players who want to join Barca.
