CorSera: Man City to table first offer for Milan star Reijnders next week | OneFootball

Tijjani Reijnders has ended up at the top of Manchester City’s wish list and according to a report, a first offer should arrive from the English side as early as next week.

According to today’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), Milan will have to part ways with at least one of their stars in the summer to make ends meet. Considering that Manchester City have expressed a very concrete interest, that someone could be Reijnders.

Pep Guardiola has put the Dutchman at the top of his wish list and as the newspaper continues, the English side should present the first official offer already next week. In short, they don’t want to waste any time and intend to give the Rossoneri notice well in advance of the window opening.

Milan paid €20m plus bonuses for Reijnders two years ago but now, a figure of at least €65m will be needed to convince them to part ways with the midfield star. It would result in an important capital gain which would help fund the signings, with many Italians on the radar.

On the other hand, the Rossoneri would lose a very important player of the team, similarly to when they sold Sandro Tonali to Newcastle. Given that Reijnders has expressed his desire to stay at Milan as well, evidenced by the recent renewal, a sale would surely upset the fans a lot.
