Nottingham Forest are eyeing a £55m move for Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, according to reports. The 28-year-old Netherlands international has emerged as a key target for the Premier League club as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Forest finished 16th in the Premier League last season with 44 points, 11 wins, 11 draws, and 16 losses, ending the campaign on a mixed run of form (DLDWW).
Who is Tijjani Reijnders?
Reijnders, a versatile midfielder, joined Manchester City from Ajax in 2023. Known for his technical ability and vision, the 28-year-old has been a regular in the Netherlands national team. His potential move to Forest would add creativity and experience to their midfield.
Why is Nottingham Forest interested?
Forest's interest in Reijnders comes as they aim to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. With a goal difference of -3 last season, scoring 48 goals and conceding 51, the club is looking to improve both defensively and offensively. Reijnders' ability to control the midfield could be crucial in their plans.
What's next for Nottingham Forest?
Forest's next fixture is against Coventry at home on September 19, 2026. As they prepare for the new season, the club is also linked with other targets, including Manchester United's Morgan Gibbs-White. The 26-year-old England midfielder is seen as a potential replacement for Bruno Fernandes if the Portugal international leaves Old Trafford.
