Newcastle Priced Out of Reijnders Pursuit
28 Jul
Summary
- Manchester City likely to demand a high fee for Tijjani Reijnders.
- Newcastle seeks midfield reinforcements amid Tonali's departure.
- Reijnders' future at City looks brighter under new management.
Newcastle United's pursuit of Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is reportedly set to be unsuccessful, as the Premier League club is expected to demand a significant transfer fee.
The Dutch international, who joined Manchester City last summer for €54 million, may find increased opportunities under new manager Enzo Maresca. With Pep Guardiola's departure and Bernardo Silva's exit, Reijnders' prospects for a more prominent role appear enhanced. Furthermore, uncertainty surrounding Rodri's future has solidified City's stance on retaining the midfielder.
Newcastle is actively seeking midfield reinforcements following Sandro Tonali's departure and with Bruno Guimaraes' future uncertain. However, a substantial offer would be required to tempt Manchester City into selling Reijnders, whose current market value is estimated at €50 million. This expected high cost suggests Eddie Howe will need to explore alternative midfield targets for Newcastle.
