Manchester City will look to sign two midfielders in the summer transfer window.
Manchester City have been handed a possible setback in their plans to sign an attacking midfielder in the summer transfer window. The Blues will look to reinforce their squad at the end of the season, with two new midfield signings targeted by head coach Pep Guardiola.

They have already identified AC Milan ace Tijjani Reijnders as a top target for a defensive midfield role, while they also want to sign an attacking midfielder.
