Manchester City would consider selling Tijjani Reijnders this summer for an offer too good to turn down, as per reports from Italy.
The 27-year-old joined forces with Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium from AC Milan last summer and made a blistering start to life in England.
Reijnders scored and provided an assist in an all-time great Premier League debut in Manchester City‘s opening day 4-0 win away at Wolves in August 2025, seamlessly integrating to into Guardiola’s ranks.

However, the Netherlands international has struggled for regular minutes in 2026 and has fallen down the pecking order for Manchester City in attack, with Rayan Cherki establishing himself as Guardiola’s architect-in-chief of late.
As reported by Tuttomercatoweb and relayed by Sport Witness, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is ‘fascinated’ by the prospect of adding Reijnders to his current crop of midfielders ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
The Old Lady are looking to bolster their midfield this summer and believe that Manchester City would consider sanctioning an exit for Reijnders for the right price.
Manchester City signed Reijnders for £45 million from AC Milan and just over 12 months, it is understood that an offer above that mark could tempt director of football Hugo Viana to cash in on the Dutchman.
Reijnders’ reported €7 million annual salary at the Etihad Stadium will also cloud uncertainty over a potential switch to Turin, with Guardiola’s future in Manchester also likely to play a part in deciding the midfielder’s future at the club.
It is inconceivable that Manchester City would allow a player who thrived in his first few months at the club to depart just a year after joining, with Reijnders under contract till 2030.

However, should the midfielder express a desire to leave, the Blues will not stand in his way should a suitor club make an offer that matches City’s valuation for Reijnders.
City are about to embark upon a busy transfer window that will see Viana progress his remake of the first-team, with the future(s) of James Trafford, Manuel Akanji, Jack Grealish, Omar Marmoush, Savinho, Rico Lewis and Rodri up in the air ahead of the summer.
Bernardo Silva and John Stones will leave Manchester City as free agents in June, though Viana and co have agreed a new four year contract with Phil Foden that will keep the England international at the Etihad Stadium till the end of the 2029-30 campaign.
