Simeone is desperate to refresh his midfield options and has identified Reijnders as the ideal profile to add energy and technical quality to the Rojiblancos, according to Fijaches. The Dutch international, who arrived at the Etihad with a high reputation, could be available if the right offer lands on the table this summer.
The report adds that the Madrid giants are preparing a formal opening offer in the region of €65 million to test Man City’s resolve. Simeone believes that Reijnders’ tactical intelligence and proven track record in top European leagues would allow for a seamless transition into the demanding environment at the Metropolitano.
