Athletic: Man City ‘hopeful’ of signing Milan star Reijnders this summer – the situation | OneFootball

News that many AC Milan fans will not want to hear arrived last night; Manchester City are interested in Tijjani Reijnders.

For months, there have been reports of interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe regarding Reijnders. So, with the Manchester outfit looking to sign a midfielder this summer, it was only a matter of time before the Dutchman was considered.

It appears it is more than a consideration, though. Last night, The Athletic reported that the Citizens have contacted Milan to make their interest known. Whilst no official offer has been sent and talks are seemingly at a very early stage, the Premier League club are ‘hopeful’ of a deal.

Of course, the price tag on this move would imaginably be high, considering Reijnders seeming has no interest in a move away from the Rossoneri, proven by his contract extension in the midst of European interest.

However, the Sky Blues have the money to play with, and will be able to match the lucrative figures likely needed to bring him to the club.

It has been stated that City are mindful of the Diavolo’s Coppa Italia final this evening, which is why it has not progressed much further. But, in the days that follow an offer could potentially arrive.
