Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are considering making a €40 million-plus bid for the services of AC Milan midfield star Tijjani Reijnders.
According to Inter Live, Manchester City are looking at ways to reinforce their midfield, and they are interested in the services of AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders. The Dutch international has made quite a name for himself with his consistent performances, and Pep Guardiola’s team are looking to add him to their squad.
Manchester City already have a start-studded squad. But they are always on the lookout for opportunities to further bolster their ranks. The Premier League champions did make a few additions to the team during the recently concluded summer transfer window. However, they are not really satisfied with the squad at their disposal.
While the return for Ilkay Gundogan surely adds a lot of quality to their midfield, Guardiola wants more options in the centre of the park and he has his eyes set on Tijjani Reijnders.
The Dutch international has only gone from strength to strength since joining the Serie A giants in the summer of 2023. AC Milan forked out just €18 million to sign him from AZ Alkmaar, and he has already doubled his value with consistent performances. It has also resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe.
Manchester City to make a €40 million offer for Reijnders?
Reijnder’s abilities on the ball along with his versatility have put him on the radar of Manchester City, who are looking to prepare for life without Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne as the duo are in the final phase of their career.
Reijnders could be a great signing for the Premier League giants as he is in his prime years, and his versatility makes him an ideal fit in Guardiola’s team. The 26-year-old midfielder is an integral part of AC Milan’s first team, and there is no way they will let him leave in the winter.
Since the Dutchman still has close to four years left on his deal, AC Milan are the ones in the driving seat. But Manchester City intend to make inroads with an offer of over €40 million to test their resolve. The offer will surely make the Serie A giants think twice and depending on his performances until the end of the season, the final price could be even higher.
