Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gündoğan has passed a medical with Barcelona according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Catalan giants were reported to be wary of the 24-year-old’s current medical condition after a long spell on the sidelines due to a back injury. Barcelona wanted to determine the players fitness before launching a bid to secure his services.
