Report: Man United preparing Ilkay Gundogan move

Manchester United are reportedly preparing a £16m move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.

The German international has been linked with a transfer to Old Trafford for the last couple of seasons, but a long-term injury cooled talk of a move.

The 24-year-old has now fully recovered and it is understood that he is stalling on a contract extension at Dortmund, with his current deal due to expire next summer.

According to The Express, United will test the waters with a £16m offer, but might have to wait until next summer to complete the deal.

Gundogan's teammate Mats Hummels has also continually been linked with a move to United.
