Manchester City is negotiating with AC Milan on Tijjani Reijnders' agreement.
The club is discussing the fees, but it is understood that Milan said they want more than £50 million (€60 million) - close to £59 million (€70 million).
City Chairman Kaldoon Al-Mubarak said yesterday he believes it should be more aggressive in the transfer market last summer.
City hopes to correct this time and add Reijnders (No 8 midfielder) on the basis of work in January and also hope for at least one new No No No No No No Not before the Club World Cup.
Reijnders is Dutch International, who has the most goals and assists for any midfielder last season.
At 10, the city wants Florian Wirtz But it was withdrawn due to huge costs involved Morgan Gibbs White,,,,, Dani Olmo and Rayan Cherki.
The club can also add players to the defenders, centre-backs and goals this summer.
“We should have been more aggressive last summer”
Al-Mubarak admitted that the club didn't "get anywhere" on their 2024/25 goals, but said lessons have been learned due to their disappointing season.
Manchester City won four of the last five Premier League titles, this time leading up to the end of November this time, and ended up not winning any big trophy for the first time since 2016/17, the first season of Pep Guardiola.
In his annual playoff interview, he told the club website: “In the past 17 years, we have never personally, professionally handled many challenges.
“This is, I think, it will be priceless for our experiences going forward.
“This year is another year I think last summer is looking back and we should probably be more aggressive with some of the changes we need to make.
“We didn’t do that, and it ended up paying for us. We’ve already started the rebuilding of the team in January.
“Often, we like to do business in the summer and there is only special needs in emergencies, we actually go to do business in January.
"This has been our MO for at least the last seven or eight years. But this January, we have to take action."
