Ilkay Gundogan can leave for free if not registered by Barcelona

According to Forbes, a clause in Ilkay Gundogan's contract could allow him to leave Barcelona if he remains unregistered by Sunday (August 13th). The German international signed as a free-agent but they've yet to finalize his registration, facing complications in registering players overall. Ahead of their season opener on August 13th, only 13 players have been successfully registered by the club.

Forbes highlights a further complication, revealing that Gundogan's contract includes a stipulation that allows him to leave if unregistered and forces Barcelona to compensate him for an entire year's salary. This potential commitment could amount to approximately £8.6 million, mirroring the 32-year-old's anticipated earnings across his two-year contract.
