Ilkay Gundogan, a 35-year-old midfielder, is in the spotlight of Galatasaray fans, who are already demanding his departure after a season start with little participation. The German international is under contract until June 30, 2027, earning 4.5 million euros net per season. The Galatasaray transfer market is seeking a solution for him in January.

The situation has worsened during the early matches of the season. Gundogan has not had continuity in the 2026/27 Süper Lig, and his presence in the team has been far from the expected prominence since his arrival from Manchester City as a free agent in September 2025.

Ilkay Gundogan, questioned by Galatasaray fans

The fans have started pointing directly at Gundogan, with some sectors even calling for his exit. The dissatisfaction coincides with the midfielder's absence in recent competitive plans and with a season in which Galatasaray already faces European commitments.

Nihat Kahveci focused on this situation and questioned blaming the player for problems that, in his opinion, have been present for some time. The former footballer stated that the team's deficiencies had been known for approximately two and a half months and criticized the fact that attention is now on Gundogan when he was not even playing on the field.

Kahveci added that there are comments circulating within the training center about the player's physical condition. According to him, some believe that Gundogan does not run at a sufficient speed, a perception that has fueled the debate among the fans.

Ilkay Gundogan's contract conditions any departure

The contractual situation limits any immediate moves. Ilkay Gundogan signed a two-season deal with Galatasaray until 2027, having arrived from Manchester City on a free transfer. The agreement stipulates 4.5 million euros net for both 2025/26 and 2026/27.

His market value is currently around 1.9 million euros, according to Sofascore, and the existing contract does not have an end date for another ten months. There is no official communication from Galatasaray yet regarding negotiations to terminate or transfer the midfielder.

The performance of the previous season also explains some of the high expectations. In 2025/26, Gundogan played in 38 matches, contributing 2 goals and 4 assists based on statistical records.

Now, the question remains whether the fans' criticisms will lead to a sporting decision. Ilkay Gundogan is contracted until 2027, so any departure before that date would require a decision from the player, the club, or a deal with another party. Currently, there is no announced agreement through any of these channels.
