City Eyes Midfield Transformation with Reijnders Pursuit

Fotnet24.net reports that Manchester City sees Reijnders as the ideal successor for a veteran who won five Premier League titles. The club plans a strategic summer overhaul to reshape its midfield.

AC Milan recently extended Reijnders’ contract to secure his transfer value. The Italian giants have now set his price at €65million, equivalent to £56m or $74m.

Despite his success in Italy, the Netherlands international—capped 22 times—craves further challenges. He aspires to refine his skills under Pep Guardiola’s mentorship and elevate his career to world-class status.

Reijnders stands out for his versatility. He adapts well to defensive, central, or attacking midfield roles. His knack for breaking lines with crisp passes and his threat in the box make him a significant asset, while City’s shortlist reportedly also includes Ederson of Atalanta and Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes.

Earlier reports revealed that Manchester City initiated discussions with AC Milan regarding Theo Hernandez. Additional moves may pit City against top European rivals for a Monaco forward who provided 10 assists this season, and the club also scouts for a new goalkeeper with a potential bid of around £21.7m.
