Congratulations, Manchester City! The first signing finalizes the Milan midfield core, and sells Glalish + Stones at a discount

In the final match of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Fulham 2-0 away, thus narrowly locking a seat in the Champions League next season in the last round. Despite this, Manchester City's overall performance this season is still far below expectations. Manchester City has completely started the pace of reconstruction this summer. In addition to the midfield core De Bruyne, many core players including Glalish and Stones will leave the team.

Decided to sell Galish + Stones

In this season when all four were empty, almost all players in Manchester City, including Haaland, performed extremely sluggish, which also led to a certain extent that when Manchester City cleaned up core players, they had to lower prices or even sell them at discounts in order to exchange for sufficient transfer funds for signings. According to the British media Mirror, Gralish has a bad prospect at Manchester City, and he is likely to transfer in the summer. The FA Cup final was stubborn, and the key match of the Champions League qualification in the last round of the Premier League, Gralish was also unable to be included in the team's roster. This is a sign that Guardiola gave up him.

In fact, the 29-year-old winger who once spent 118 million euros in transfer fees in Manchester City, had only 7 league starts, and only 1 first in 2025. Gallish also performed poorly in limited playing time, playing in 32 games in various competitions and contributing only 3 goals and 5 assists. His role in the team has become increasingly marginalized. On the left, Guardiola prefers to use Savigno, Doku, Foden or Marmush.

Although Gralish has two years left for the contract with Manchester City, he is obviously no longer in the team's plan. Of course, with Gallish's current state, it is impossible for Manchester City to recover the transfer fee of 118 million euros that year. It would be good to sell it for 40 million euros.

30-year-old England defender Stones has suffered from injuries this season and has only made 2 goals for Manchester City. In 2016, Manchester City spent 56 million euros to introduce Stones from Everton, who has also made great contributions to Manchester City's Champions League and Premier League titles in recent seasons.

However, as he grows older, Stones' overly fragile body makes him more and more difficult in the Premier League, and his current net worth is only 30 million euros. According to media reports, Manchester City has informed Stones that he will leave this summer, including Juventus, many mid-range teams in the Premier League and Saudi League teams, all of whom are very interested in signing Stones. In terms of the first signing of Milan's midfield core, according to the Post, before going to the Club World Cup, Manchester City is stepping up its pursuit of Milan midfielder Reindez, and the transfer fee he is willing to pay may exceed 55 million pounds. Dutch international Reindes, 26, performed well this season, scoring 15 goals in various competitions, was named the best midfielder of the Serie A season and was successfully selected as the best team of the Serie A season selected by Opta. After De Bruyne left the team, Guardiola hopes to introduce Reindez to strengthen the team's midfield strength.

In July 2023, AC Milan spent 20.5 million euros to introduce Reindez from Alkelma, and the deal is currently very successful. After joining AC Milan, Rhinedes performed better and better. His scheduling and control on the court have shown a master-level style. This season, he played 54 times for AC Milan, contributing 15 goals and 5 assists. He is already the team's undisputed midfield core, and his value has soared to 50 million euros. Although the contract between Reindez and the team will not expire until 2030, for AC Milan, selling and cashing out when the player's value is at its peak is their regular operation in recent seasons. Considering Manchester City's wealth and prosperity, AC Milan will definitely not miss the opportunity to speak out.
