Guardiola 'Steals' this midfielder from Madrid, Fabrizio Romano makes it official

Manchester City is about to finalize a major signing. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the English club has reached an agreement to sign Tijjani Reijnders.

The Dutch midfielder has shined this season at AC Milan. He has played 54 matches, scoring 15 goals and providing 5 assists in a total of 76 hrs. 31 min. (4591 minutes).

Reijnders has been a key piece in the Rossoneri's system. He stands out for his ability to recover the ball and create play. His performance has attracted the attention of top European clubs.

His most outstanding performance came at Santiago Bernabéu, where he dominated the midfield against Real Madrid and scored a stunning goal. That display confirmed his potential to compete at the highest level.

City closes the deal near 70 million

Manchester City is negotiating a figure close to 70 million euros, including bonuses. They want to secure a player with potential and experience in major competitions.

Pep Guardiola is looking to strengthen his midfield with a dynamic footballer with good ball control, qualities that Reijnders possesses.

Real Madrid had included Tijjani on their list of possible reinforcements for the midfield. However, City has moved ahead with a financial and sporting proposal that convinced the player and Milan.

This move is a blow for Madrid, which will have to explore other options to strengthen their squad.

With this transfer, the Dutch player will take a step up in quality to the Premier League, one of the most demanding competitions in the world.

City is betting on his talent to keep dominating both in England and in Europe.

What does it mean for Madrid?

Losing Reijnders is a setback, but the white club remains active in the market. They will look for alternatives to keep their strength in the midfield.

Meanwhile, Guardiola celebrates his latest victory in the battle for European talent. Reijnders joins a winning and ambitious project.
