​​Manchester City wants to turn the page after a season below expectations, and Pep Guardiola has already requested urgent moves to reinforce the squad. With an eye on the upcoming Club World Cup and also the 2025/26 campaign, the English club has started accelerating several key operations in the market. Among them, the priority is clear: Tijjani Reijnders.

​​The Dutch midfielder from AC Milan has been one of the few bright spots for the Rossoneri this season, to the point of being recognized as the best midfielder in Serie A. That consistency, coupled with his ability to cover ground, distribute accurately, and arrive in the opponent's area, has drawn the attention of the Citizens, who see in him an ideal replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who has already announced his departure from the Etihad.

Rijnders is City's top priority

​​Khaldoon Al Mubarak, City's president, confirmed they have already selected the profiles they want to incorporate and that the negotiations will be carried out swiftly. Although there will also be departures, the club has enough financial leeway to tackle ambitious signings, and Reijnders tops the list.

​​Furthermore, Manchester City is also closely monitoring Englishman Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest, but the primary goal is to secure the arrival of the Dutch international as soon as possible. Guardiola wants his new squad to be assembled to confidently face the international challenge of the Club World Cup.
