Manchester City have strengthened their squad with four new signings ahead of the upcoming Club World Cup, following the completion of a £46 million deal for Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan on Wednesday.
Reijnders, who was named Serie A's midfielder of the season for the 2024-25 campaign, arrives at the Etihad Stadium as a strategic replacement following Kevin De Bruyne's departure from the club.
The Dutch midfielder expressed his excitement about joining the Premier League champions, stating: "Under Pep Guardiola, City have won so many titles, and I want to help keep that going with a lot more success in the coming years. It is also a dream come true to play in the Premier League."
City's Summer Transfer Activity
Reijnders joins three other new arrivals at Manchester City this summer:
Rayan Ait-Nouri
Marcus Bettinelli
Rayan Cherki
These signings demonstrate City's intent to maintain their competitive edge both domestically and internationally, particularly as they prepare for the prestigious Club World Cup tournament.
The acquisition of Reijnders is particularly significant as it addresses the midfield void left by De Bruyne, bringing in a player who has proven his quality at the highest level in Italian football.
Manchester City's transfer activity suggests they are taking the Club World Cup seriously, ensuring they have adequate squad depth to compete on multiple fronts in the upcoming season.
