Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan would jump at the chance of moving to Barcelona.

BVB chief Michael Zorc announced this week that Gundogan has made a verbal transfer request.

Arsenal and Manchester United are regarded as favourites for the Germany international.

However, BILD says the destination he favours is Barcelona.

But any deal is unlikely, with Barca banned from this summer's transfer and Gundogan having just a year to run on his current deal. If BVB agreed to wait until January 2016, Gundogan would be free to sign a pre-contract with Barca ahead of moving to Spain for nothing in June.
