Borussia Dortmund’s star Ilkay Gündoğan has denied rumours stating that he underwent a medical with Barcelona.
The 24-year-old reportedly passed a medical with Barcelona according to Mundo Deportivo last month.
The report went onto say that the examination was conducted by Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt and the Spanish newspaper claims the medical was satisfactory.
Gündoğan took to Facebook to deny the rumours, his statement read: “In recent weeks, I, like you, read again and again that where I was signing was already agreed. Today I am in contract negotiations here, tomorrow I’m having a medical check there.
“At first I could still smile about it but when there was talk of ‘contract poker’ and ‘rip-off’ that painted me in a bad light.
“Yesterday an ominous number [regarding wage demands] appeared in the media and so I have now decided to say something about it.”
