Several Premier League clubs have begun to take a look at Tijjani Reijnders, and Manchester City are the latest club to take an interest in the AC Milan midfielder.
Players like Reijnders are increasingly rare in football. A player whose brain allows him to play across a range of roles in the midfield, and his technical ability matches it. Under Stefano Pioli, and now Paulo Fonseca, the midfielder has been heavily used, and for good reason.
In the past 12 months, he has grown into somewhat of a leadership role, and with the summer signing of Youssouf Fofana, he is reaching his best. However, other clubs are noticing this, especially in England, where there are a multitude of different interested parties.
As Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan Press) write, Manchester City are the latest club to show an interest in the midfielder, and with Pep Guardiola looking to invest in the midfield, Reijnders is an easy option to look at, given he would probably excel in his system.
However, the report states that he is focusing elsewhere. Instead, he ‘only wants Milan’ and is focusing on a renewal with the Rossoneri, as opposed to moving away. Reports this morning suggest that the Diavolo are looking to extend his deal until 2030.
