Manchester City plans Tijjani Reijnders exit to facilitate Ayyoub Bouaddi arrival

Manchester City is considering allowing Tijjani Reijnders to leave as they pursue Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille. Galatasaray is reportedly monitoring Reijnders, with a potential move hinging on whether Manchester City can successfully complete the Bouaddi deal. This approach suggests that City's midfield strategy for the upcoming season prioritizes younger talent, as they aim to reshape the squad. The club views Bouaddi as a direct evolution of their midfield rather than an additional option. The outcome of this situation will influence the remaining transfer activities as the window approaches its close.
