Manchester City Pep Guardiola set to announce brilliant signing imminently after ‘medical completed’

Manchester City is poised to strengthen its squad with a series of strategic signings, leveraging the earlier-than-usual transfer window to its advantage. According to reports, the club is on the verge of signing Tijjani Reijnders, a highly regarded midfielder from AC Milan, with medical tests already completed.

Reijnders’ Signing: A Priority for City
Reijnders’ arrival is seen as a priority for Manchester City, given the pending departure of Kevin De Bruyne and the declining form of Ilkay Gundogan. The 26-year-old Dutch international is known for his versatility, adept at playing in various midfield roles, including defensive, central, and attacking midfielder. His impressive form for AC Milan, with 10 goals and five assists in 37 Serie A games in 2024/25, has caught the attention of Pep Guardiola.

Transfer Details
According to reports, Manchester City will pay a transfer fee of €57m + €14m, with easy-to-reach bonuses up to €65m (£55m). With personal terms and medical tests already completed, City is expected to officially announce the signing of Reijnders in the near future.

A Trio of Signings
Reijnders won’t be the only signing for Manchester City, as the club is also close to securing Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri in a deal worth £36.3m (€43m, $49.1m). Additionally, talks are advancing over a potential deal worth around £30m (€35.6m, $40.6m) for Lyon forward Rayan Cherki. These signings are expected to be completed before June 10, ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, and would represent a significant investment of approximately £120m for the club [20].
