Pep Guardiola will renew its midfield in Manchester City this summer, because club goals return to the top after they have ended a season without silverware for the first time in eight years
Manchester City will have new conversations with AC Milan about a £ 55 million movement for midfielder Tijjani Reijnders while Pep Guardiola wants to renew his squadron on a renewed attack on all fronts next season.
Nederlands International Reijnders has become one of the highest rated midfield players of Serie A and the city would like to close a deal early in the window, while the club retains a strong interest in Rayan Cherki, who wants to move from Lyon.
Kevin De Bruyne leaves the city unhappy and is tempted to become a member of Napoli, while the future of experienced figures Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva are unclear with Guardiola who is expected to renew his midfield.
Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said last week that City would come back stronger next season after ending up at 13 points behind Champions Liverpool. It was the first campaign that City won no piece of silverware, while the legal battle of the club with the Premier League is rumbling in the background.
And Al Mubarak said: “We will come back. This season is a season that is now behind us. Today is a new day. We are starting to work and prepare for next season. And by the way, we have been doing that since January.
“And we will take all the good things and the not so good things of this season and learn from it, improve them and get better.
“I can assure you, this club will do everything possible to return to the standards that we know we can all reach – and that we know we will reach.
“Because really, if there is one thing that I would like now, it is to run that page of last season and simply concentrate on next season. All players are enthusiastically coming back. Nobody feels good about how we have ended the season.
“They want to come back, and they want to come back hungry. And I can see the hunger. Normally these players are eliminated and they start to think about vacation time, etc. To be honest, every player I spoke to, told me,” We'll be back “.
“That is the attitude you want – and that is precisely why you see me so positively. We are going to come back strongly with a lot of positivity.”
