The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder has 18 months remaining on his current Etihad Stadium deal
Ilkay Gundogan is ready to run down his Manchester City contract despite enjoying life with the Premier League champions.
The Germany international midfielder has 18 months left on his current deal and has put his reputation for being injury-prone behind him after making changes to his lifestyle.
But, despite being a valued part of coach Pep Guardiola's squad and collecting a Premier League medal, the 28-year-old is in no rush to commit to a longer-term stay at City, aware that his next contract could be his final 'big one' as a top-level player.
