Manchester City Set to Launch €60m Bid for AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders

Manchester City are reportedly preparing a €60m bid for AC Milan’s star midfielder Tijjani Reijnders this summer, according to Calciomercato. The 26-year-old Dutch international has caught the attention of Pep Guardiola, who is looking to reinforce his midfield with versatile talent. Reijnders, known for his exceptional technical skills and ability to operate as a 6, 8, or 10, is seen as a perfect fit for City’s tactical system, especially with aging stars like Ilkay Gundogan, now 34, in the squad.

Reijnders made a name for himself during the 2022/23 Eredivisie season with AZ, showcasing his ball control, vision, and ability to break through defenses with incisive passes. Since joining Milan, he has continued to impress, but the Italian club’s ninth-place standing in Serie A and potential absence from the Champions League may force them to consider offers. Manchester City’s interest in Reijnders is part of a broader strategy, with reports also suggesting a double raid on Milan, targeting left-back Theo Hernandez as well. If the deal materializes, Reijnders could be a key piece in City’s quest for continued dominance in the Premier League and beyond.
