Manchester City are reportedly close to landing their top summer target just days after the end of the Premier League season.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are wasting no time in rebuilding the squad after a disappointing 2024/25 season.

The dethroned Premier League champions are losing Kevin De Bruyne and have moved swiftly to replace the Belgian by pursuing a host of stellar names across Europe.

They are expected to complete the signing of Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan, according to latest reports.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dropped an update suggesting the deal is days away.

The report said "Understand Manchester City are closing in on Tijjani Reijnders deal with AC Milan. Here we go, soon — as clubs are now in process to complete the agreement and bring Reijnders to #MCFC before FIFA Club World Cup. All done on personal terms between Reijnders and Man City."

It comes after Sky Sports claimed that Reijnders has agreed personal terms with Manchester City ahead of a move to the Etihad Stadium.

City are still expected to complete a deal for Lyon playmaker Rayan Cherki, and Wolves left-back Ryan Ait-Nouri before the start of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Manager Pep Guardiola is keen to rebuild his squad after the exit of Kevin De Bruyne.
