Liverpool maintains its interest in strengthening its midfield and, faced with difficulties in signing Martín Zubimendi, the English club has turned its attention to Tijjani Reijnders as an alternative. Arne Slot sees the AC Milan midfielder as a solid option to bolster the team, especially if Real Sociedad does not engage in negotiations for the Spanish international, who was Liverpool's main target last summer.

Reijnders, who joined Milan in 2023 from AZ Alkmaar for a sum close to 19 million euros, has caught the eye of major clubs due to his ability to play in various positions in midfield, being both a playmaker and an efficient defender when needed. This versatility is valued by Liverpool, which needs a midfielder capable of adapting to the demands of the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur is also willing to make an offer for the Dutch player, potentially complicating Liverpool's aspirations.

Milan has no intentions of selling Reijnders

On the other hand, Milan will not easily give in, as Reijnders is under contract until 2028 and has become an important piece in the team. The Italian club values the player's potential and is not ruling out a possible contract extension to further secure his stay, according to recent reports from Corriere dello Sport.

Although Barcelona and Manchester City have also shown interest in Reijnders, Liverpool seems prepared to compete with other top clubs in Europe to secure the midfielder. With the winter market around the corner, Liverpool's moves to find a midfielder are expected to intensify if Zubimendi remains unavailable.
