Manchester City has reached an agreement to sign Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for a fee of approximately £46 million. The 26-year-old midfielder, recognized as Serie A's best last season, is expected to undergo a medical examination soon. Reijnders could play a crucial role in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. His arrival is designed to complement the existing midfield dynamics, particularly as current players like Ilkay Gundogan and Mateo Kovacic adjust their roles. Additionally, the potential signing of Rayan Cherki may impact his positioning on the field.
Reijnders is reminiscent of club legend Ilkay Gundogan. Both are technical box-crashing central midfielders, thriving as eights while being versatile in deep and attacking roles.
The deal for Lyon attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki is less advanced but still widely expected to happen, aiming to strengthen City's attacking options further.
