Manchester
United target Ilkay Gundogan looks certain to leave Borussia Dortmund
this summer after the club confirmed he will not be signing a new
contract.
The midfielder's current deal expires at the end of
next season and Dortmund are likely to sell this summer rather than
lose him for nothing in 2016.
Bayern Munich,
Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are also interested in signing the German
international, who would command a fee of around £20million.
Dortmund confirmed on their official Twitter feed on Thursday that Gundogan: 'has decided not to renew his contract'.
Gundogan
joined Dortmund in 2011 from Nurnberg for around £4m. He won the
Bundesliga and German Cup in his first season before reaching the
Champions League final in his second.
Injury saw him miss
virtually all of last season and Germany's World Cup triumph but the
24-year-old has returned to form in recent months.
Gundogan
scored a penalty in the 2-0 German Cup semi-final win over Bayern at the
weekend but the final looks set to be his last game at the club.
United
are looking for a world class midfielder to compete with the likes of
Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini and Daley Blind.
