Arsenal are keeping close tabs on Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders as the summer transfer window approaches, with multiple Premier League clubs monitoring the Dutchman’s situation at the Etihad Stadium.
The 26-year-old has impressed since arriving at City but finds himself in an uncertain position as the club faces a potentially significant summer of changes.
Bernardo Silva and John Stones are both set to leave as free agents, and manager Pep Guardiola’s long-term future at the club remains unresolved, creating a backdrop of instability that could prompt further departures.
Sources indicate that Reijnders and the club are expected to hold talks at the end of the season to clarify the player’s future, though there is currently no suggestion he is pushing for an exit.
Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Reijnders’ former club AC Milan are also said to be tracking developments, meaning Arsenal face competition from multiple directions if they decide to move.
The Arsenal midfield has grown in strength under Mikel Arteta in recent seasons, but Reijnders’ versatility and technical quality could add another dimension to a squad that already contains Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.
His ability to operate in different central roles would suit Arteta’s rotational demands across a season that regularly stretches into cup competitions and European football.
City are not expected to actively seek a sale and would prefer to retain the player, particularly given the number of other departures already in the pipeline this summer.
Whether Guardiola stays or goes is likely to be the decisive factor, as a managerial change could alter how key players view their futures at the club.
For now, Arsenal and their rivals are content to watch and wait as the situation develops, knowing that the right set of circumstances could open the door to signing one of the Premier League’s most effective central midfielders.
