34-year-old German midfielder Gundogan has officially announced his joining Galatasaray, and he also accepted a farewell interview on the official website of Manchester City Club.

Gundogan said: "Manchester City will always occupy a special place in my heart. We have gained so many successes together and created countless unforgettable moments - especially as the captain of the Triple Crown season. "

"Winning the Premier League and the FA Cup means a lot to me, and being able to win the first Champions League trophy for this club as captain will be remembered forever, especially considering that the game is in Istanbul. "

"I have no doubt that Manchester City will gain more success in the future. As I continue my career in Turkey, a country that means a lot to me, I will continue to pay attention to the team from afar. "
