That wasn't the impression last summer. Gundogan was one of the solid performers under Xavi and he made it clear that he was forced out of the club due to financial reasons.
He was excellent is first season, definitely wanted him to stay this season, he would have added some needed depth, but the club wanted olmo, it makes sense from a business prospective.
It says little about how he performed last season or would have this season under flick.
Gundogan's contract was mutually terminated in agreement. Official statements are he forgave 2 years worth of salary. Now you say Gundogan is still getting paid - well that might be true, to have installed payments in compensation.No he didnt he wanted him gone and Gundogan left after conversation about his role the following season.
Anyone with any idea how Flicks teams play know why.
Barca are still paying Gundogan who on top of that costs more on books than Gundogan did last season.
It is not a 'financial decision' primarily at all.
More made up nonsense despite fact realisng they had fucked up and gave him far too big a contract for what offered.

Whatever the financial case is - I can't connect the dots between Gundo wanting to leave and fuck the club financially because simply Flick told he'll get less minutes. In such cases players are listed on the transfer market to profit, probably sold to Saudi Arabia for 10-15-20m instead of terminating the contract. Especially the dire finances given at this point with the forthcoming transfer of Olmo.
