Real Madrid has already begun to look to the future, and one of the main priorities in their planning for the upcoming season is to strengthen the midfield. With Luka Modric's departure drawing nearer, the white sports management is seeking a new playmaker for the center of the field, with Tijjani Reijnders, the current AC Milan player, emerging as a strong candidate.

However, Real Madrid is not alone in the race. Manchester City has swiftly taken action and has started formal discussions with the Italian team to secure the services of the Dutch international. According to reports from 'Tuttomercato', the transfer fee could reach around 60 million euros, a figure that could persuade Milan to part ways with one of their most in-form players.

An Ideal Player for Xabi Alonso

Pep Guardiola sees Reijnders as the perfect heir to Kevin De Bruyne and aims to outpace Real Madrid in ensuring his signing. The White's board is aware of City's strong interest and does not want to miss the opportunity to bring in a player who would perfectly fit the style of play that Xabi Alonso will look to implement in the Merengue team.

The player's contract with Milan runs until 2030, and his market value is estimated at about 50 million euros, setting the stage for a tough battle between two giants of European football in the boardrooms. The coming summer is poised to be crucial in determining Reijnders' final destination.
