Bolstered by a £100 million ($135 million) spending spree ahead of the Club World Cup, Manchester City are determined to erase the memory of a disappointing season by returning to winning ways in the United States.

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders ahead of the Club World Cup. The Athletic reported last week that a club-to-club agreement had been reached on a deal worth an initial €55million (£46.6m) before add-ons.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have earned around €37m from Ait-Nouri’s switch to Manchester, taking Man City’s outlay to an eye-watering €300m in 2025, including deals in the winter transfer window. Most notably, City poured €70m into Eintracht Frankfurt’s bank account to lure versatile Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush to England earlier this year.
