City's players voted recently to give Gundogan the captaincy, due to his leadership skills and longevity at the club.

According to The Telegraph, he is official captain, while Kevin De Bruyne is the vice captain.

Rodri, Kyle Walker, and Ruben Dias are all a part of the leadership group as well.

The Spanish midfielder is an addition to that group, having recently signed a new deal with City to take him to 2027.
