Tijjani Reijnders is on the verge of officially becoming a new Manchester City player, following reports that he is having his medical with Pep Guardiola’s side on Sunday ahead of a €75m transfer from Milan.

Reports in Italy claim that Reijnders might be in his final day as a Milan player, as he is having his medicals with Manchester City on Sunday: ‘I couldn’t wait any longer’, the Dutchman told reporters in his homeland.

Man City have an agreement in place with Milan to pay a total fee of €75m including bonuses and add-ons. Reports claim that the ‘fixed fee’ may be as low as €55m.
