Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are reportedly close to reaching an agreement to sign one of the best players in Serie A.

Manchester City are progressing in talks with AC Milan over the transfer of Tijjani Reijnders, according to Sky Sport Italia.

The Dutch midfielder is one of Pep Guardiola's top transfer targets this summer, with the Spaniard keen to secure his services before the Club World Cup.

According to the report, Milan will prefer to conclude the sale as soon as possible, as their failure to qualify for Europe next season carries financial implications.

Reijnders scored 15 goals and provided five assists in 53 appearances for Milan across all competitions this season.

Real Madrid have also been linked with the midfielder, but are believed to be looking at other alternatives.

Milan are reportedly hoping to receive around €90 million for their star player. Reports suggest City's initial €60 million bid was swiftly rejected.
