Goodbye to Real Madrid for next season: He will play with Guardiola.

This footballer was liked by Real Madrid, but he will finally join Manchester City

Manchester City has been one of the major disappointments of the season and Pep Guardiola is already working on the transfer market. The English team aims to win the championship again next season and that's why they aren't wasting time.

According to various media, at Etihad they are going to strongly bet on Tijjani Reijnders, AC Milan's midfielder. The Dutchman was quite liked in the noble area of Chamartín, but finally, everything indicates that he will end up in England. Juni Calafat, Real Madrid's chief scout, had followed him very closely and had even prepared reports on his game.

However, he will not wear white, although he will embark on a new stage in his sports career. In the noble area of Chamartín, they were convinced that they couldn't compete head-to-head with the skyblues and Florentino never thought of entering a bid for him.

This means that the still reigning European champion will not show any impediment for the Netherlands international to go to City. In Valdebebas, right now, they are focused on other operations that they consider more important than this one.

A new project

As you already know, Real Madrid has announced Xabi Alonso as the new first-team coach. Tomorrow will be his presentation and a new project will start at the institution. The man from San Sebastián has work ahead and his first point of contact will be the Club World Cup.

For that competition, it is worth noting that he will not be alone, that is, some other signings will come with him. Dean Huijsen is the first, but not the last. Álvaro Carreras and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be responsible for strengthening the full-backs.

These are going to be the signings that Florentino will make for this new and important competition that will be played in the United States. The president has already made it clear that it is a crucial competition for the club for reputational and economic reasons. It would even be truly beautiful for Modric and Lucas Vázquez to end their stage by lifting a title and visiting the Goddess Cibeles.
