Sky Sports reporting that we're in negotiations for Gundogan.
City want to pay £28m
Dortmund holding out for £36m
Who is he?
A central midfielder
Age 25
Height 180 cm (5'11")
Jurgen Klopp, his coach when at Dortmund, described Gündoğan as an "intelligent and complete midfielder with numerous strengths". Although he had a tough start at Dortmund where he admitted that "things hadn't gone as well as I had thought", his "willingness to learn" and "great attitude", according to Klopp, have allowed him to play a pivotal role in his later career at the club. He was able to fit into Dortmund's explosive playing style "by combining creativity and outstanding passing with the defensive attributes and tireless energy needed". His "intelligence in possession" and "tactical discipline" have often been compared to Manchester United's Michael Carrick, although Gündoğan offers "greater mobility and creativity".

Raphael Honigstein thinks he's mint.
Would be a great addition.
Could do with a bit of shooting practice though, 36 shots = 1 goal.
Need more than one addition in midfield.
