Real Madrid have reportedly set their sights on Tijjani Reijnders to reinforce their midfield. Barça are also reportedly on the trail of the Dutchman
AC Milan put on a real show at the Santiago Bernabéu last Tuesday, November 5, crushing Real Madrid 1-3 in the fourth round of the Champions League. One of the standout figures of the match was Tijjani Reijnders, who, in addition to pulling the strings in the Rossoneri midfield, added his name to the statistics with the third and final goal of the match.
His performance at the Santiago Bernabéu made it clear that the Dutchman is one of the best in the world in his position, which has triggered rumours about the interest of the European giants in signing him. Despite the fact that the footballer is on track to renew his contract with the Milan team, the Merengues themselves have reportedly been impressed with his performance and are already keeping a close eye on him.
Madrid would look for Reijnders to reinforce the midfield
And the fact is that the Madrid midfield has been affected by the retirement of Toni Kroos, since none of the players that Ancelotti has in this area of the field have been able to assume the role that the German had in creating play. And it is here where Reijnders' qualities make him an attractive option for the Whites, who consider that his profile fits the needs of the team in this area.
According to 'CalcioMercato', the Vikings have already added him to their list of potential players and do not rule out going for his signing in the future, especially if Aurélien Tchouaméni ends up leaving Chamartín. The interest of the Merengues could clash with that of Barça, who are also reportedly on the trail of the 26-year-old midfielder, so a new Clásico in the offices could be taking shape.
