Chelsea and Manchester City are keen on signing the AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders.
According to a report from Calciomercato, Chelsea will compete with the Premier League champions for the 26-year-old Dutch international midfielder. Reijnders has done quite well for Milan and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the two English clubs.
It is no secret that Chelsea need more quality and depth in the middle of the park and the 26-year-old will add control and composure to the side. They need to improve their squad if they want to fight for major trophies in the coming seasons. Although Chelsea have shown improvement this season, they are not quite at the level required to challenge for major trophies. Signing top quality players during the summer transfer window will help them bridge the gap with the elite clubs.
It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the AC Milan midfielder. There is no doubt that they have the finances to get the deal across the line. The Dutch international could be the ideal acquisition for them and he could form a quality partnership with Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
Chelsea need to add more quality and depth to their side during the summer transfer window and it will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right additions.
Man City keen on Reijnders
Meanwhile, Manchester City are lacking in quality and depth in the middle of the park as well. They need to bring in a quality defensive midfielder and a reliable central midfielder. It will be interesting to see if they can sign the Dutch international in the summer. He has shown his technical ability in Italian football and he has the physicality to succeed in England as well.
The opportunity to join Chelsea or Manchester City could be quite attractive for him and it would be an excellent step up in his career. The midfielder is at the peak of his powers and he will want to compete at the highest level. The two English clubs could provide him with the platform to fight for true fees regularly.
