It’s still a good few months before the transfer window reopens.
But with Pep Guardiola’s move to Manchester City now confirmed, there’s plenty of speculation regarding some of the players he’s intending to bring to the Etihad.
Earlier on Friday, we told you about a report from Spanish publication SPORT, which linked Borussia Dortmund’s Ilkay Gundogan with a move to Manchester.
According to the report, Barcelona had approached the German international, only to be told by the player that he’d agreed to join up with Guardiola in the Premier League.
But according to a tweet from Borussia Dortmund’s official Twitter account, such a move is far from certain.
Replying to a tweet from SPORT about the report, the German club’s response was perfect.
.@sport Really? We should know about that, shouldn't we? Truth is, we don't know anything about that.

If only more clubs dealt with transfer gossip in the same way, making sense of what was fact and what was fiction would be easier for all of us.
