BARCELONA are in pole position to sign Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.
That's according to bookmakers Betfair, who've slashed the Spanish champions into 4/11 from 6/4 to clinch Gundogan's signature this summer.

It's then 5/4 that he doesn't sign or agree to sign a contract with any other club.
Borussia Dortmund come next at 10/1 with Arsenal (16/1), Bayern Munich (20/1), Milan (20/1), Inter (20/1) and Real Madrid (33/1) all quoted in the betting.
Gundogan has scored 60 goals and provided 40 assists in 303 appearances in all competitions since arriving at the Etihad Stadium in July 2016.
The 32-year-old was Pep Guardiola's first signing, and perhaps flew under the radar given his relatively modest £20million price tag.
That's proven a bargain as he's helped the club to five Premier League titles, four Carabao Cup trophies and two FA Cups during his seven-season stay.

With the Champions League final against Inter to come, Gundogan could sign off with the trophy City fans have craved for so long.
However, the Germany international has entered the final weeks of his contract and there's currently no sign of an extension on the table.
Instead, reports are claiming Gundogan has already agreed a deal to join Barcelona, with an announcement to come after the European final.
The Spanish press say a three-year deal has been agreed at the Camp Nou, with Barca having confirmed their ability to pay his wages despite their financial issues.
