Tijjani Reijnders has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Juventus, with the Bianconeri interested in signing the Dutch midfielder on loan as they continue strengthening their squad for the new season.
Manchester City signed Reijnders only a year ago, and he began the 2025/2026 campaign as one of the club’s key players under Pep Guardiola. However, his role gradually diminished as he struggled to establish himself as a regular starter and found playing opportunities increasingly limited.
Juventus Explore Loan Opportunity
---------------------------------
Man City have since appointed a new manager, and Reijnders will be hoping to impress Enzo Maresca and earn more regular playing time. Despite that ambition, the midfielder could still be allowed to leave if the right opportunity arises during the current transfer window.
Juventus are keen to add the Dutch international to their squad for the 2026/2027 season as they continue their efforts to build a stronger team than the one that competed last term. The club believe Reijnders would bring quality and experience to their midfield options.
According to [Tuttosport](https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/serie-a/juventus/2026/07/31-150225657/calciomercato_juve_idea_reijnders_come_e_quando_pu_arrivare_le_ultime_su_portiere_terzino_e_centrale/2), Juventus will only pursue the transfer if City agree to send the midfielder to Turin on loan rather than on a permanent deal.
Permanent Transfer Unlikely
---------------------------
The report suggests City are open to allowing Reijnders to leave permanently, but Juventus are not in a financial position to complete such a transfer at this stage.
Instead, the Bianconeri are hoping to negotiate a loan agreement, even if it includes an option as part of the deal. Such an arrangement would provide Juventus with greater financial flexibility while allowing the player to secure more regular first-team football.
Juventus remain focused on improving their squad before the transfer window closes, and Reijnders is viewed as a player capable of strengthening the midfield if an agreement can be reached. Whether City are prepared to alter their preferred terms remains to be seen, but the coming weeks are expected to determine whether the proposed move can become a realistic possibility.
