Manchester City may have more trophies than shelf space, but they still want more—and this time, they’ve got their eyes on Reijnders. The Dutch midfielder has become the toast of Milan, racking up goals, assists, and admirers like it’s an Olympic sport. With Kevin de Bruyne on his farewell tour and Bernardo Silva possibly packing his bags too, City’s midfield could soon resemble a bachelor’s fridge: a lot of space and not much spice.
Enter Reijnders, who’s currently busy trying to win the Coppa Italia with AC Milan and avoid being distracted by transfer rumors. Spoiler alert: he’s probably failing. Because when the reigning English champions call, you at least let it go to voicemail before screaming.
Reijnders: The Dutch Delight on Every Club’s Wishlist
This guy is not just any No.8—he’s the No.8. Reijnders is the kind of player who can pirouette past defenders while calculating his taxes, and City are hoping to snag him before someone else does. His stats this season? A casual 15 goals, 5 assists, and more running than a London marathon. And yes, he just signed a contract until 2030, but since when has that ever scared off the Etihad checkbook?
Why Reijnders Fits City’s Big, Beautiful Machine
City don’t just want midfielders; they want Swiss Army knives with boots. Reijnders brings creativity, control, and a decent amount of Dutch stubbornness. He’d slide into Guardiola’s side like a fish into water—albeit one who costs €60 million and doesn’t like sitting on the bench.
He Could Be Hugo Viana’s First Masterstroke
New director of football Hugo Viana has barely unpacked his desk, yet he might already be eyeing Reijnders as his first big coup. It’s early days, and no formal offer has landed—but if City want to keep winning while trimming the wage bill, snapping up this Dutch dynamo makes perfect sense.
So buckle up, folks. The summer window hasn’t even opened, and already the Reijnders rollercoaster is leaving the station.
