The midfielder enjoyed a remarkable career after his breakthrough spell at Nuremberg between 2009 and 2011. He went on to win a Bundesliga-DFB Cup double with Jürgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund in the 2011/12 season, before becoming a key figure in Manchester City's trophy-filled era under Pep Guardiola. He also represented Barcelona and captained Germany at international level.
"I still have a very close connection to Nuremberg because the club means a lot to me," Gündoğan told Sky Germany. "I'm very grateful to the club and the city. I can definitely imagine returning one day, in whatever role that may be."
