The "Fichajes" website reported that Aston Villa is planning to make a significant transfer deal worth 70 million euros to strengthen its squad in preparation for the next season.

According to the report, coach Unai Emery is looking to sign the Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who is currently with Manchester City.

Tijjani Reijnders, aged 27, transferred to Manchester City in June 2025 from AC Milan.

The source added that the player started strongly with Manchester City, but his role diminished in 2026 due to the team's reliance on Rayan Cherki in his position.

According to the report, Manchester City has set the player's value at around 70 million euros, while his contract extends until 2030, with the possibility of him leaving during the upcoming transfer window.

He also explained that several clubs are monitoring the player's situation, including Arsenal, Newcastle, and Juventus.

The source indicated that Aston Villa sees Reinders as a suitable option to strengthen the midfield, given his physical and technical abilities, with the club ready to make an offer close to the required value.

The future of the deal will be determined in the coming period, as a meeting between the player and Manchester City's management is anticipated, with Aston Villa remaining in a strong position to complete the contract if the opportunity arises.
