Man City retains Tijjani Reijnders amid Arsenal and Serie A interest
Summary

Tijjani Reijnders is reportedly being given a new chance at Manchester City under incoming manager Enzo Maresca. After a challenging first season following his move from AC Milan for £46.5 million, Reijnders is optimistic about proving himself during the FIFA World Cup and upcoming pre-season. Despite interest from Arsenal and Italian clubs, sources indicate City has no immediate plans to sell him, especially after Bernardo Silva's departure. The club's midfield depth likely favors Reijnders' retention heading into the next season.
