Premier League champions Manchester City have reportedly submitted multiple enquiries as they prepare to sign Tijjani Reijnders from Serie A club AC Milan this summer.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tijjani Reijnders is the subject of interest from Manchester City. The Premier League champions are keen on reinforcing their midfield unit in the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the AC Milan midfielder. They have already made multiple enquiries as they prepare to sign the Dutchman from the Serie A giants.
The rise and rise of Tijjani Reijnders
Tijjani Reijnders has established himself as one of the best players in Serie A since joining AC Milan from AZ Alkmaar in July 2023. The Dutch midfielder arrived at San Siro with a burgeoning reputation after proving his mettle in the Eredivisie and showcasing his versatility in the middle of the park.
The 26-year-old has gone from strength to strength in the last two years, even though AC Milan might have endured a chaotic period. Reijnders has contributed to 17 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions thus far this term, finding the back of the net 13 times and providing four assists.
Meanwhile, Reijnders has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe with his exploits for AC Milan. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the Dutchman, with Manchester City among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Manchester City’s interest in Tijjani Reijnders is hardly surprising. The Premier League champions are combing the market for a midfielder heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Mateo Kovacic, and Matheus Nunes.
Meanwhile, Kalvin Phillips has no future at the Etihad and will likely leave Manchester City after he returns from a loan spell with Ipswich Town in two months. So, Reijnders has emerged as a viable target, with the Citizens already submitting multiple enquiries over a move for the 26-year-old Dutch midfielder.
While the Netherlands international signed a new contract with AC Milan a few weeks ago, Manchester City will unlikely throw in the towel. It will be interesting to see if they can tempt the Dutchman to move to the Etihad in the summer transfer window.
