Exclusive: Manchester City face competition to sign an AC Milan midfielder | OneFootball

Yesterday, a report from Mike McGrath for the Telegraph indicated that Manchester City were set to move for AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders this summer. Looking at Reijnders as a player, he’d immediately improve Manchester City’s midfield. He’d add the attributes that City lack in the centre of the pitch. Reijnders is a goal-scoring midfielder with a wide range of passing. He’d also add drive to City’s play and gets around the pitch well. His versatility is also something that would be a useful addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad.

Now, Esteemed Kompany sources have revealed that Manchester City may face competition to sign Tijjani Reijnders this summer. Despite this competition, it has also been revealed by Esteemed Kompany sources that it is likely that Manchester City could formalise the signing of the AC Milan midfielder this summer.

Three other clubs have an interest in signing Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan.

Esteemed Kompany has learned that Chelsea, Barcelona and Manchester United are also closely monitoring the situation surrounding Tijjani Reijnders. Furthermore, it has also been revealed that Chelsea have a strong interest in signing Reijnders. Esteemed Kompany sources have also learned that AC Milan are hopeful of an offer of over €70 million coming in for Reijnders this summer. It has been revealed that Manchester City could start the bidding for Reijnders at €60 million plus bonuses for the Dutch international. It has also been learned by Esteemed Kompany sources that Manchester City’s strong financial position, coupled with AC Milan’s likely need to sell players this summer, could see a deal found that will see Reijnders land at the Etihad this summer come together quite quickly.

Suitors have emerged for Tijjani Reijnders, but it seems that Manchester City may win that race.

It isn’t a major surprise to see that a host of clubs have an interest in signing Tijjani Reijnders. He has proven himself to be one of the best midfielders in Serie A. Reijnders is AC Milan’s most important player. That has been on display throughout this season. But the stars do seem to be aligning for Reijnders to leave the San Siro this summer. That situation could be playing right into Manchester City’s hands.

Esteemed Kompany sources have also further revealed that Reijnders is a priority target for Manchester City. Based on that information, it seems that City will move for him in the coming weeks. If he is the player City have identified to bolster their midfield, it’s unlikely that they will waste any time in making their move for him.

It appears to be a move that is a no-brainer from a City point of view.
