Manchester City Prepares for New Season
City’s Shifts After Recent Setback
Following a season where Manchester City finished third in the Premier League, the club is preparing for notable changes as they head into the Club World Cup. This comes after City faced their first trophy-less season in eight years, prompting management to reassess strategies for the upcoming campaign.
Transfer Bid for Reijnders
To bolster their midfield, Manchester City has submitted an offer of roughly $65 million to AC Milan for midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. The 26-year-old Dutch international made a significant impact last season, contributing 15 goals and five assists after joining from AZ Alkmaar.
AC Milan’s Response and Ongoing Negotiations
AC Milan has reportedly responded that the current offer falls short of their expectations and is seeking a higher fee. As negotiations continue, Manchester City remains committed to enhancing their squad through the acquisition of Reijnders, who is seen as a crucial addition.
Possible Role in City’s Midfield
If the transfer materializes, Reijnders could play an important role in Manchester City’s midfield, especially in the wake of Kevin De Bruyne being linked with a move to Napoli. This highlights the club’s urgent need for fresh talent as they prepare for the challenges of the Club World Cup.
