Saudi Arabian clubs have joined the battle for Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan.

The German veteran is off contract at the end of the month and has flirted with Barcelona this week.

However, a move to Saudi Arabia could yet be on for Gundogan.

The PIF-owned pair Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal are both in contact with the player's minders and keen to negotiate terms, says TMW.

Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal delegations are currently in London on a major recruitment drive.
