AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders has been linked with a move away from Italy, with Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham keen.
Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur have been named as potential suitors for Tijjani Reijnders. However, a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football has claimed that the Dutchman wants to continue in Italy for now. The development will come as a major blow for the English clubs.
The Dutch midfielder, who joined AC Milan in a €20 million deal, would have been a quality acquisition for all three clubs. They need more quality and depth in the midfield, and Reijnders is certainly good enough to improve them. The player has shown his quality in Serie A, and he has the physical and technical attributes to succeed in the Premier League as well.
Liverpool need more depth in the midfield, and the Dutch international would be the ideal acquisition. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can change his mind with the help of their Dutch manager and some of his international teammates who are already at the club.
Manchester City and Tottenham keen
Manchester City are looking for midfield reinforcements as well, with Tijjani Reijnders a top target. The Premier League champions have struggled due to injury issues this season, and players like Matheus Nunes have failed to step up. Manchester City need better players at their disposal, and the AC Milan midfielder would be a quality addition for them.
Similarly, Tottenham need more quality and depth in the midfield as well. The North London club need a deeper squad if they want to do well across multiple competitions. Pursuing the AC Milan midfielder would be a wise decision for them.
The player has shown his quality in Italy, and he might be keen on proving himself in the Premier League as well. The Dutchman knows what it takes to play for a big club, and he could be the ideal acquisition for all three clubs.
Meanwhile, AC Milan paid €20 million for the Dutchman, and they will look to make a substantial profit if they are forced to sell the player. It will be interesting to see if the three English clubs can convince them to accept a reasonable fee for the player. The Serie A giants could easily demand a premium for him.
