Ilkay Gundogan will soon inform Manchester City about his decision next season.

The club captain is off contract in June and City are keen to discuss new terms.

The midfielder also has fielded talks with Barcelona, though as yet nothing has been decided. Barca coach Xavi is a big fan and eager to sign the Germany international.

With time ticking down, Gundogan has assured City's top brass he'll soon inform them of his decision.

City manager Pep Guardiola has already told the veteran he wants him to stay for another season.
