Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has claimed that his country Germany, defending champions France, England and Brazil are the four favorites to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year. Gundogan, who featured for Die Mannschaft in the last edition of the tournament, has been a vital squad member of the German team since making his international debut in 2011. Due to a back injury, the 31-year-old missed out on lifting the prestigious trophy in the summer of 2014. He made one appearance in the 2018 edition, coming on as a substitute in Germany's 2-1 win over Sweden. The four-time FIFA World Cup winners were knocked out of the group-stages last time around, but are expected to make a mark under head coach Hansi Flick in Qatar. During a Q/A session on Twitter, Gundogan was asked about the potential winners of the upcoming FIFA World Cup. He answered: "Hopefully Germany. My other favourite teams are England, France and Brazil."

But I would say it's still better than playing in Qatar during the hot summer."

Ilkay Gundogan on his way out of Manchester City this summer According to Calciomercato (via Mirror), Manchester City are considering the possibility of a swap deal with Serie A giants Juventus involving Gundogan and Arthur Melo. The German midfielder, who is in the final year of his current deal at the Etihad Stadium, played a crucial role in his team's 2021-22 Premier League title triumph. He scored twice in a 3-2 victory against Aston Villa on the final matchday as the Citizens won the league title by a solitary point. Ilkay Gündogan@IlkayGuendoganWe will see.
