Overview
- Reports this week say Nottingham Forest have made a concrete approach for Tijjani Reijnders and are preparing an offer around £55m to try to bridge the gap to Manchester City’s valuation.
- Manchester City value Reijnders at about €64m (£60m) and hold strong leverage because he is under contract at the Etihad until 2030.
- Reijnders is understood to be receptive to leaving to secure more regular first‑team football after seeing his starts fall last season, which is driving interest from several clubs.
- Forest’s willingness to pursue a high fee follows the sale of Elliot Anderson and forms part of an active recruitment push under Oliver Glasner to strengthen midfield options.
- No agreement has been announced and other European clubs including Juventus, Galatasaray, Atlético and Newcastle are also linked, so the outcome will hinge on whether City and Forest can agree a middle ground.
