Gundogan has been linked with a move away from Barca.
The Germany midfielder, who arrived from Manchester City in 2023, has less than 12 months remaining on his contract with the Blaugrana.

The 33-year-old missed Barca's 2-1 victory over Valencia on Saturday, having suffered a head injury in their Joan Gamper Trophy defeat to Monaco earlier in the week.
Nevertheless, Flick is hopeful his compatriot's future will be at Barca.
"[He] hurt his eyebrow on Monday and that's why he stayed at home," Flick told reporters following the Valencia win.
"I appreciate what kind of player he is and what he is like as a person. I've talked to him a lot, but it's something between me and him.
"We have a good relationship. I know him well. I have the feeling that he will stay."
