Manchester City and Manchester United are both out to strengthen in the summer transfer window
Manchester United have already wrapped up their first transfer of the summer with the arrival of Matheus Cunha as rivals Manchester City look to get their first deal over the line.
Pep Guardiola’s side have less than a week to add to their squad before the FIFA Club World Cup later this month. A 10-day early window has opened to allow clubs competing the tournament to add to their respective ranks.
Fabrizio Romano gives update on Man City move for Tijjani Reijnders
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that City are poised to sign Reijnders from AC Milan ahead of the Club World Cup. He reported that personal terms have been agreed with the clubs now closing in on a deal.
He wrote on X: “Understand Manchester City are closing in on Tijjani Reijnders deal with AC Milan. Here we go, soon — as clubs are now in process to complete the agreement and bring Reijnders to City before FIFA Club World Cup. All done on personal terms between Reijnders and Man City.”
The 26-year-old has been with Milan since 2023 having spent the first chunk of his career in his native Netherlands. He is under contract at the San Siro until the summer of 2028. Milan are said to want around £63m to get the deal done but it is not clear how much of that they could be willing to accept in add-ons.

Confirming his exit from Chelsea, Sancho said: “Grateful for the experience. Big love to everyone at Chelsea who made me feel at home — teammates, staff and the fans. Wishing the club all the best moving forward. Truly grateful, Thank you Blues.”
Sancho has high wage demands but it may not prove all that difficult for United to offload the player this summer. The Red Devils need to sell players in order to bolster Ruben Amorim’s transfer war-chest but having already pocked £5m from Chelsea, they could sell Sancho for as little as £15m now without having their expected financial windfall impacted.
