Milan fans protest potential sale as City also monitor Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White.
Manchester City have escalated their interest in AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, with a potential summer transfer fee exceeding £55 million as Pep Guardiola seeks to strengthen his squad ahead of the Club World Cup.
The 25-year-old Netherlands international, who has scored 15 goals across all competitions this season, was named Serie A’s Midfielder of the Year over the weekend. His performances have attracted City’s attention, though Milan supporters have voiced frustration over the club’s turbulent campaign and the possible departure of a key player.
Guardiola has emphasized that while he provides input on recruitment, final decisions rest with the club’s hierarchy. The impending arrival of Hugo Viana as director of football, replacing Txiki Begiristain, could influence transfer strategy.
In addition to Reijnders, City are monitoring Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White, who recently earned a call-up to England’s squad under Thomas Tuchel.
