Nottingham Forest want to sign Tijani Reijnders from Manchester City!

Nottingham Forest are genuinely interested in signing Manchester City star Tijani Reijnders, according to many sources, including Football Insider.

Some sources have questioned Nottingham Forest's readiness to spend a large sum for the Dutchman, but after Forest sold several players this summer to several big clubs both inside and outside the Premier League, the money will be available.

Will Nottingham Forest make a move for Tijjani Reijnders!

On 7 August, Football Insider reported that Nottingham Forest are preparing to make a move for Reijnders, who has now become one of their primary targets in the central midfield department.

Questions linger over whether he'd serve as a seamless replacement for Anderson, given the contrasting roles each occupies on the pitch—though that particular dilemma will be left for Glasner to sort out.

If Forest do choose to press ahead, they have the financial means to match City's valuation, which would put them in pole position to secure his services.

Is City ready to sell the Dutchman?

Even with Nottingham Forest and several European sides stepping up their interest, the ultimate outcome hinges on whether Manchester City are open to a departure.

Since taking over, Maresca has used the pre-season period to run the rule over his group, and he will be the one to have the final word on who stays and who goes.

Football Insider reported last month that the manager intended to give Reijnders a proper run-out during pre-season as part of his ongoing squad assessment.

The midfielder has made the most of that opportunity, turning in strong performances during City's Asian tour—though that has hardly cooled the mounting speculation surrounding his future.
