Ilkay Gündogan keen to see out final year of Manchester City contract
Ilkay Gündogan has stated he is 'very happy' at Manchester City and wants to stay at the club for the final year of his contract. The veteran midfielder is a target for Galatasaray with Pep Guardiola having hinted he could be allowed to leave. Yet the 34-year-old said: 'I have one more year left on my contract and I'm very happy here – I think everybody knows that. 'I am enjoying my football. I still believe I have several years in me at the highest level by taking good care of myself. I've proven last season when I didn't miss a game. I'm available, I'm fit, I want to play at the highest level for much longer.' Gundogan scored twice in Sunday's 6-0 win over Al Ain at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The victory secured Manchester City's passage to the last-16 but Juventus have to be beaten if they are to top Group G and probably avoid Real Madrid in the first knockout round. Gundogan said: 'At the end if you're not able to beat Juventus then they might deserve it [win the group]. A seventh goal would have given us a higher probability but it also doesn't matter: we need a good performance against Juve and to win the game. That is not going to change the way we approach it.' The German was unhappy at how City performed as the break neared. 'There were short periods where we were not that precise in terms of our passing and the way we played. 'It's something we need to observe and get better at because at the highest level you should not allow yourself to be not good for such a long time. It felt quite long to be honest. It felt at least five or 10 minutes too long in terms of the standards we have.

We were a bit slow and it felt a bit that it cost us that one goal at the end that we needed.'

Every major tournament these days seems to have a so-called 'group of death'.It just so happens that the two home nations attending Euro 2025 - England and Wales - have both fallen into the tricky Group joined by 2017 champions the Netherlands and a highly-rated France the Lionesses defend their 2022 crown? And how will Wales fare in their first major tournament?BBC Sport takes a deeper look at the four teams involved. England Manager: Sarina Wiegman Nationality: Dutch Appointed: 2021Captain: Leah Williamson Position: Central defender Club: ArsenalKey player: Lauren Hemp Position: Forward Club: Manchester City Form: England missed out on top spot in their Euro qualifying group, coming second behind fellow Group D side France. Sarina Wiegman's side did, however, win their most recent meeting with Les question marks have been raised over their form of late, with a convincing 6-0 win against Portugal in the Women's Nations League sandwiched between defeats by Belgium and Spain, although they did beat the latter in hopes: Expectations will be high for an England side who ended the country's 56-year wait for a major trophy - men's or women's - when they beat Germany at Wembley in the 2022 after reaching the final of the 2023 World Cup, the Lionesses have suffered a dip in form, plus a number of key players are in a race to be fully fit in time, while the absence of Mary Earps (retired) and Millie Bright (unavailable) means the squad is without some of its most experienced names. To make things even more uncertain, they've been handed perhaps the toughest group and even getting out of the group stage could be a big ask. France Manager: Laurent Bonadei Nationality: French Appointed: 2024Captain: Griedge Mbock Position: Centre-back Club: PSGKey player: Sandy Baltimore Position: Winger Club: Chelsea Form: France qualified for Euro 2025 as group leaders but they did suffer defeats against England and the Republic of Ireland during that they arrive in Switzerland on a hot run of form having won all six of their Nations League matches this year, conceding just two hopes: France have generally been ranked among the favourites for each major tournament in recent times but they have always seemed to fall short, failing to reach a final at either the Euros or the World a wealth of attacking and defensive talent, Laurent Bonadei's Les Bleues have lost just two of their matches since he took charge in August - to world champions Spain and, more surprisingly, Switzerland last October. The Netherlands Manager: Andries Jonker Nationality: Dutch Appointed: 2022Captain: Sherida Spitse Position: Midfielder Club: AjaxKey player: Vivianne Miedema Position: Forward Club: Man City Form: The Netherlands won only two qualifying matches but they finished level on points with top-placed Italy. They scored just four goals during that campaign but they were solid at the back - only letting in four goals. However, their last Nations League matches were not what they would have hoped for five weeks before the Euros - a 1-1 draw with Scotland after Germany had thrashed them 4-0 at the end of hopes: There has been an excitement around the Netherlands heading into Euro 2025 under Jonker, who will depart after the tournament and be replaced by England assistant Arjan Dutch team have continued to develop a host of bright new talent with the likes of Barcelona's Esmee Brugts, as well as Chelsea's Wieke Kaptein and Veerle Buurman, while they still have the experienced stars like Vivianne Miedema and Sherida Spitse, who both contributed to their Euros success in 2017. Wales Manager: Rhian Wilkinson Nationality: Canadian Appointed: 2024Captain: Angharad James Position: Midfielder Club: Seattle ReignKey player: Jess Fishlock Position: Forward Club: Seattle Reign Form: Wales lost only one of their 10 games in qualifying for Euro 2025 but they were facing weaker teams in League B before they qualified for their first major tournament through the play-offs by beating the Republic of have struggled since making the step up to League A in the Nations League, finishing bottom of their group without a win. Wales did earn two encouraging draws with Sweden this year but they fell to Italy and Denmark in their final two group hopes: Getting through the 'group of death' won't be easy for Wales but they have become a very difficult side to beat under Rhian recently impressed against the higher ranked sides, Wales will be keen to make an impression on their major tournament debut and be competitive in Switzerland.
