The big signing Guardiola wants for City in January

Manchester City, under the management of Pep Guardiola, has set its sights on Tijjani Reijnders, the current midfielder of AC Milan. According to English media reports, the Premier League champion is willing to make an offer of 50 million euros to secure the services of the Dutch player in the upcoming winter market in order to strengthen their squad and put the poor results behind them.

Reijnders, who joined the Rossoneri in the summer of 2023 from AZ Alkmaar for 20.5 million euros, has proven to be a key player in the Italian team. His performance this season has been remarkable, making 72 appearances since his signing, with a tally of 12 goals and 7 assists in all competitions. In the current campaign, he has achieved his best scoring record, standing out with 4 goals and 3 assists in Serie A, in addition to contributing important goals in the Champions League and the Coppa Italia.

AC Milan is not willing to facilitate Reijnders' departure

As reported by 'Daily Star', despite City's interest, Milan considers Reijnders non-transferable. The club has already agreed to a contract extension until 2029 with a significant salary increase, doubling his annual net income. Furthermore, they will benefit from the tax advantages provided by the Growth Decree in Italy.

Guardiola appreciates Reijnders' ability to combine technical quality and physical presence in midfield, but Milan seems unwilling to yield. With a renewed contract and an increasing role, the operation is set to be challenging for the English club.
