Manchester City have reportedly increased their efforts over the signing of AC Milan midfielder, Tijjani Reijnders despite seeing their first offer for the €70 million-rated star rejected.
The search is underway for Kevin De Bruyne’s possible replacement as he concludes ten years at City.
According to Italian reports, Pep Guardiola’s team’s €60 million (£50.5 million) offer for AC Milan striker Tijjani Reijnders was turned down. The Italian giants reportedly want €70 million (£58.9 million).
According to Gazzetta dello Sport as reported by Goal, City increased their contact on Thursday and want to sign the Dutchman “immediately.”

Since then, they have made a bigger offer, but it is reportedly below Milan’s asking price.
Guardiola is apparently eager to make the 26-year-old the “new De Bruyne,” despite the fact that he is primarily a central midfielder.
According to reports, the Netherlands international canceled a planned vacation, which the Italian media interpreted as a clear indication that a move to the Etihad was imminent.
According to reports, he views the transfer as a career advancement and would be thrilled to work under Guardiola.
Reijnders will probably be playing for the Netherlands before a Milan to City transfer occurs, since matches against Finland and Malta are scheduled for June 7 and June 10, respectively.
