On the passionate and variable stage of the football world, every transfer window is like a war without gunpowder, with major giants fighting fiercely for the players they like. And now, the future where a midfield star is moving to the hearts of countless fans, and he is AC Milan's midfield core - Reindez.

Recently, Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri broke the news in the Swiss Sky Sports column that the transfer soap opera between Manchester City and Reindes seems to be about to reach its climax. According to him, Manchester City has reached a preliminary agreement with Reindes on personal terms. The Dutch midfielder has clearly informed his agent that he would give priority to transfer to Manchester City, just like among many suitors, he secretly handed Manchester City a "note of love". Although Real Madrid also showed strong interest in him, Real Madrid is obviously behind in this transfer battle, as if Manchester City had already run ahead in this marathon, and Real Madrid is still struggling to catch up.

Manchester City is rushing to get Reindez. They plan to send the first written offer to AC Milan management this week to formally start negotiations. Just like an impatient suitor, he can't wait to get the recognition of the woman's parents. In order to save time, Manchester City also learned about Milan's financial requirements through the player's agent in advance. Milan asked the Zwolle player for a price of €65 million, which was like giving Reindez an expensive label. However, it is said that the two sides may reach an agreement (including bonuses) at around €50 million, plus additional bonuses related to the player's individual and team performance, which is like a bargaining deal, both sides are looking for a balance point.

Looking back on Reindez's career, he quickly became the core player of the team after transferring from Alkmaar to AC Milan in 2023. On the offensive end, his performance was amazing, scoring 15 goals in various competitions this season, and many goals showed his excellent passing and dribbling traits. For example, in the game against Spain, he calmly completed the goal, demonstrating his strength; in the game against Real Madrid, he ended his impressive performance with a wonderful late goal, which made Real Madrid miss him. In March this year, Milan renewed his contract until 2030, and his annual salary for the new contract doubled. He thought he would play in Milan for a long time, but he did not expect that the sudden changes in the transfer market would make his future full of uncertainty.

From a tactical perspective, Manchester City's signing of Reindes is undoubtedly an injecting a shot of a heart-warming agent into the midfield. The Athletic reporter Sam Lee analyzed that Reindes' midfield at Manchester City will be as good as a fish in water. His game style is more like the combination of Bernardo Silva and Gundogan, and can influence the game in various areas on the court. He is very adapted to catching the ball from the goalkeeper and is the foundation for the team to build offense. When facing a team with high pressure pressing, he can retreat like Gundogan to help defend, and contribute when the game advances to the frontcourt. His ability to control the rhythm of the game through various methods is exactly what Manchester City needs. Moreover, Manchester City attaches great importance to the ball's advancement in recent midfield signings, which is also a major feature of Reindez's game. Although he is not particularly tenacious in defense, his characteristic combination when handling the ball is enough to make Manchester City fans look forward to his arrival.

Real Madrid has a long history of interest in Reindez. According to Marca, Real Madrid has been actively considering introducing him. As AC Milan faces the risk of missing the European match next season, Reindez's transfer fee may drop, which is an excellent opportunity for Real Madrid. Real Madrid hopes to further enhance their midfield strength by introducing Reindes and prepare for competition in the new season. However, now Manchester City has the upper hand in this competition, and it is still unknown whether Real Madrid can come from behind and regain the initiative.

For AC Milan, Reindez's departure was undoubtedly a huge loss. But if you can get a generous transfer fee, it can also alleviate the team's financial pressure to a certain extent. Moreover, teams can also use this fund to find new midfielders to adjust and rebuild the lineup.

How will this transfer drama end? Can Manchester City successfully sign Reindes to add another fire to the team's midfield strength? Will Real Madrid fight back and stage a counterattack show? Let us wait and see and witness this wonderful game in the football world together.
