With the first part of the summer transfer window now officially open until June 10, Manchester City is busy bringing players to the FIFA Club World Cup. City Chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak said his club’s goal is to introduce most new signings ahead of the upcoming matches in the U.S.
Now, a new report by Fabrizio Romano for Givemesport says Manchester City's action is signing AC Milan midfielders Tijjani Reijnders and Lyon Playmaker Rayan Cherki. It seems that Manchester City's update based on Fabrizio Romano has hit two major hits in the transfer market.
Manchester City has made progress on the first two signings in the summer.
Fabrizio Romano reported that Manchester City is improving to sign Rayan Cherki of Lyon. Romano reported that Pep Guardiola has been in contact with Cherki in recent days. The purpose of these negotiations is to ensure that city managers and Cherki align their future goals in line with Romano’s report. In addition, Romano reported that the transfer fee for Cherki to arrive at Etihad will exceed €30 million. Finally, Romano added that the dialogue between the two clubs is developing.
Fabrizio Romano also reported that Manchester City's opening bid for €60 million, and tijjani Reijnders were rejected by AC Milan. Additionally, Romano added that conversations between the two clubs continue. According to Romano's report, Manchester City is ready to return the offer from Reijnders. Finally, Romano reported that an agreement was expected between Manchester City and AC Milan.
Manchester City's first two summer signings seem to be coming soon.
Manchester City seems to be getting closer to their first summer signing. As mentioned above, it would be ideal if City could sign Cherki and Reijnders before the Club World Cup. This will allow Manchester City to bring two players to the United States. This will also bring Pep Guardiola's roster to the forthcoming competition. But more importantly, Manchester City seems to be on the verge of signing two quality players.
Manchester City has been redeveloped well. Now, they need to add work that can complement their January signing and the rest of Pep Guardiola. Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders will do this. Cherki will increase Manchester City’s lack of game creativity in the 24/25 season. Reijnders will add quality, life and purpose to the city's midfield. Both players hope to define their roles in the City’s reconstruction. The speed of cities can sign these two players the faster they can grow into these roles.
Manchester City appears to be ready to get two big hits in the transfer market this week. Signing Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders will totally represent that. All signs suggest it's only a matter of time before both players are holding Manchester City shirts.
