Recent reports suggest that Manchester City is keen on acquiring Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan. The Premier League champions are reportedly aiming to complete the transfer before the FIFA Club World Cup kicks off in mid-June.
Over the past few weeks, several top European clubs have expressed interest in Reijnders, with Manchester City and Real Madrid emerging as the frontrunners. City, in particular, is eager to finalize a deal with Milan by early June to ensure Reijnders` availability for Pep Guardiola`s squad during the Club World Cup in the United States.
Transfer Fee and Contract Details
Various sources have quoted a price tag of around €70 million for Reijnders. Manchester City is reportedly prepared to offer this amount, while Milan is seeking a total package between €75-80 million, including bonuses.
Reijnders recently extended his contract with AC Milan until 2030, which saw his annual salary increase from approximately €1.7 million to €3.5 million plus bonuses. This new deal could potentially impact the transfer negotiations.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Manchester City and AC Milan to see if they can reach an agreement for the talented Dutch international before the Club World Cup begins.
