After losing to Bologna in the Italian Cup final, although AC Milan theoretically has the opportunity to compete for the European and even the Champions League next season through league rankings, including Milan club management, head coach, players and fans, this season has been defined as a failed season. After the end of this season, AC Milan will change from management to coach and players. Among them, the first one to leave the team is Dutch star Reindes, who scored 15 goals for the team this season. Manchester City is very eager to sign the second Serie A midfielder after Barrera. AC Milan is open to the deal, but the price of Reindez is a big talk, even exceeding the price of selling Tonali to Newcastle.

Reindez joined AC Milan from Alkmar for 20.5 million euros in July 2023. In his first season, he became the absolute main force of the team with his outstanding performance, making 50 appearances for the team and contributing 4 goals and 3 assists. This season, Paul Fonseca and Concesan have fully utilized Reindez's offensive ability. So far this season, Reindez has played 52 times for AC Milan, scoring 15 goals and 4 assists, second only to Pulisic, and is the second scorer in AC Milan. 10 of his 15 goals were scored in the Serie A League, ranking 13th in the Serie A scorer list. At the same time, Reindes is also the second most goals among all Serie A midfielders, only 1 less than Napoli’s McTomine, and is one of the most powerful midfielders in Serie A goal-scoring ability!

Reindez's net worth was only 14 million euros when he joined AC Milan in July 2023, and has been steadily rising since then. His net worth reached 30 million euros in June 2024, and now it has reached 50 million euros. Reindez's net worth is tied for 9th among all Serie A players, which means that only 8 players in Serie A are worth more than Reindez, among which Barrera is the only midfielder who is worth more than Reindez. It can be said that Reindez is the second midfielder in Serie A!

The players who joined AC Milan with Reindes in July 2023 include Pulisic, Chukueze, Mousa, Chik, Okafor and Jovic. Among these players, Okafor has left the team. Chukueze, Mousa, Chik and Jovic have all become the team's substitutes or rotation players this season. Only Pulisic and Reindes have firmly held the team's main position and have always performed very well. Both players have attracted the attention of Premier League teams now, among which AC Milan may keep Pulisic with all his might and will renew his contract with Captain America with a salary increase. As for Reindez, it is very likely that Milan will be pushed into the transfer market and sold at a high price in exchange for transfer funds in the summer window.

Reindes, who performed well, naturally has many suitors, among which Manchester City and Chelsea have the strongest desires. Chelsea hopes to take the lead in the competition with the good relationship with AC Milan in player trades in recent seasons, but since Chelsea has not yet secured a place in the Champions League next season, this also makes the players themselves more inclined to join Manchester City. Manchester City will usher in a large-scale reconstruction after losing the Premier League this season and being eliminated early in the Champions League. The winter window has introduced forward Marmush, midfielder Gonzalez, and two young defenders Husanov and Vittorrez, while the focus of the adjustment in the summer window will be the midfield.

Among Manchester City's current midfielders, only Rodri, Gonzalez and young player Nico O'Reilly will be determined to stay in the team next season, and Gundogan's contract is also very likely to stay in the team; De Bruyne has confirmed his departure, Echeviri may be rented out for training next season, McCarty is being chased by many mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League, and whether Kovacic and B stay depends on whether they receive appropriate offers. In other words, Manchester City will introduce at least two midfielders in the summer window transfer. In addition to Wilz, who is chasing Leverkusen, Reindes is the second target of Manchester City's midfielder signing.

It is reported that Guardiola is very optimistic about Reindez, believing that his playing style is very close to Iniesta, and has some characteristics of De Bruyne, B Se and Gundogan, which is exactly the type of player Guardiola is urgently needed in the midfield. Although Reindez is usually the one with the lowest position among Milan midfielders, he is not a traditional midfielder, but takes on the heavy responsibility of launching the team's offense after receiving the ball from the goalkeeper.

Manchester City will offer AC Milan to buy Reindes after the end of this season. It is said that Manchester City's budget for Reindes is more than 70 million euros, but this offer may be difficult for AC Milan to release them quickly. According to people close to the Milan club, AC Milan is open to Reindez's transfer, but believes that his transfer is worth much more than 70 million euros. This number is only enough to allow AC Milan to sit at the negotiating table, but to let them release people, they have to pay more!

In the summer of 2023, AC Milan sold Tonali to Newcastle for 59 million euros, and then introduced Reindez with 20.8 million euros. Now, as Tonali's substitute, Reindes has a net worth of 50 million euros, while Tonali's worth is only 45 million euros! If Manchester City wants to sign Reindez, it may have to pay a considerable price to satisfy AC Milan's Lions' big talk!

For the Red Bird Group behind AC Milan, in two years, 20 million euros have become 70 million euros or even more, which is a real profit!
