What Tijani Reijnders would offer Man City is obvious amid £60m transfer claim and clear ambition

Tijani Reijnders wants titles.

In that respect he is no different to any other footballer. He wants to win the biggest honours and play at the highest level.

"My biggest goal is to win as many trophies as possible," he said earlier this season. So far his cabinet has a solitary Italian Super Cup - the equivalent to the Community Shield - although he could add the Coppa Italia this week if his AC Milan side beat Bologna on Wednesday night.

That is also likely Milan's only route into European football with the Italian giants languishing in eighth in the table, three points and two places off Roma having played a game more. Those titles might come a bit more freely in Manchester.

City have had a poor season yet it will likely still end with Champions League football and could also bring an FA Cup title and a Club World Cup trophy - eyecatching silverware to tempt Reijnders with.

The midfielder has emerged as a target for City this summer but he would not come cheap. He's enjoyed a superb season in Serie A and recently extended his contract in Italy until 2030.

Real Madrid have been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old and City certainly need to make midfield additions this summer.

Yet Reijnders would give City something different, he is more in the mould of a prime Gundogan. A midfield eight capable of sitting but more effective as a ranging central player with the freedom to break forward. He's added goals to his game in recent
