Manchester City is on the verge of incorporating Tijjani Reijnders as their first major signing of the summer. The Dutch midfielder is Pep Guardiola's choice to add more depth to his squad in preparation for the ambitious challenge of the 2025 Club World Cup. Negotiations with AC Milan are well advanced, and an agreement could be finalized in the coming days, as revealed by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The 25-year-old player has given the green light to the transfer after reaching a total understanding with the English club in contractual matters. City sees Reijnders as a key piece to bring new options to the midfield, where they are looking for different profiles following an intense season in which they won the Premier League but fell short in Europe.

Reijnders was one of AC Milan's standout performers last season, establishing himself as a complete midfielder, capable of both creating play from deep and getting into the opponent's area. His technique, vision, and ability to carry the ball in possession make him a perfect fit for Guardiola's style.

For Milan, losing the Dutch international would be a significant blow to their setup, but the player's interest in joining a winning project like City has been decisive in the deal. Manchester is already preparing for his arrival and is confident in quickly finalizing all the details.

With this move, City starts the transfer window strongly, prioritizing talent and versatility in a key area of the field to compete at the highest level in the upcoming Club World Cup edition.
