At the current stage, it is a real threat and not a proper negotiation yet.
In recent days, Manchester City has informed Milan of their strong interest in Reijnders. A concrete interest that will become a real mission at the end of the season. Pep Guardiola wants the Dutch talent and wants him already for the Club World Cup which will begin on June 13.
The idea of the Citizens would be to put on the table an offer of over 70 million euros to try to convince the club. A decidedly significant sum that could make Giorgio Furlani, CEO of a club that has no untouchables in the squad, waver — the Tonali deal with Newcastle has set a precedent.
Milan to try for Samuele Ricci...
From the possible sale of Reijnders, Milan could obtain that essential treasure chest for next summer’s incoming transfer market. The potential 75 million euros from Manchester City would serve the Rossoneri club to get closer to the target Samuele Ricci of Torino, on whom Milan has been working for some time for a deal of over 30 million euros.
The contacts that took place with the entourage of the 2001-born player during the last winter transfer window produced mutual appreciation, with the promise to get back in touch ahead of this summer. The player, who grew up at Empoli and who in the past also caught the interest of Lazio and Inter, represents by his characteristics an ideal profile to complete the current midfield. A modern playmaker, as well as being an Italian player, in constant growth and steadily part of the National Team setup.
Milan, by admission of CEO Giorgio Furlani himself, is already working on the next transfer market despite the lack of a sporting director, as pointed out by Calciomercato.com.
If Ricci is a concrete idea for the midfield, Lorenzo Lucca is for the attack.
Also in this case, attention is on a player who is having a positive season with the Udinese shirt — 11 goals in 32 league matches — also followed in January, before focusing the efforts on Santiago Gimenez.
With the very probable return of Tammy Abraham to Roma and the evaluations still ongoing regarding the future of Luka Jovic (whose contract expires in June, and on whom the Rossoneri hold an option to renew), along with the confirmed Mexican, another striker is needed.
Udinese, aware of the possibilities on the market for the Turin-born striker, values him at no less than 30 million euros. Also on the list of Milan’s transfer men are Jonathan Burkardt of Mainz (17 goals in 28 Bundesliga games) and Nikola Krstović of Lecce.
