Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Man City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders

A report from Caught Offside claims that Arsenal is preparing a raid on Manchester City, another Premier League championship contender, ahead of the summer transfer window. Even though Pep Guardiola’s team faltered earlier this week, Arsenal and Man City are still in the running for the Premier League championship.

On Monday, City was only able to draw with Everton on the road, which gave Arsenal a significant advantage in the championship battle. Even if Arsenal is now in control, they will still want to bolster their team before the upcoming campaign to make things a bit more pleasant.

Given that they are both vying for the league title, it seems improbable that either City or Arsenal will sell to the other. However, the Gunners are still expressing interest. Tijjani Reijnders, a “world-class” midfielder for Manchester City, is reportedly scheduled to meet with the team during the summer transfer window after losing Guardiola’s favour, according to a report from Caught Offside.

Although Arsenal’s midfield has improved recently, Mikel Arteta’s formation may benefit from Reijnders’ depth and inventiveness. He could play in the middle of the park with players like Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard because of his great work ethic and technical prowess. But it could be difficult to get his services given the competition from other Premier League teams.

The management situation at Manchester City appears to have a significant impact on Reijnders’ future there. Although Guardiola’s future is still unknown, reports claim that the City manager is currently concentrating on the present campaign and hasn’t made any concrete choices about it.

As of this moment, it appears that neither City nor Reijnders will make any decisive moves until the completion of the current campaign. For his part, Reijnders is not believed to be actively advocating for a departure from City. However, teams may be able to pursue the gifted midfield player if Guardiola’s exit materialises.
