Juventus are reportedly setting their sights on another Manchester City midfielder, with Tijjani Reijnders emerging as a potential target for the Serie A giants. While the Bianconeri's interest in Bernardo Silva has been no secret, it seems they may be casting a wider net at the Etihad.

Reijnders, 27, has seen his influence wane in recent months after a stellar start to life in Manchester. The Dutch international made a high-profile move from AC Milan last summer, with City shelling out an initial €55 million—a fee that could rise to €70 million with add-ons. His debut was nothing short of electric: a goal and an assist against Wolves on the Premier League's opening day, quickly cementing his place in Pep Guardiola's starting XI. Through the season, he's racked up seven goals and eight assists across all competitions.

But the second half of the campaign tells a different story. Reijnders has been relegated to the bench in recent weeks, even going unused as a substitute in City's last three Premier League outings. That dip in form has sparked whispers of an exit after just one season, with Juventus reportedly keeping a close watch.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Giovanni Albanese, Reijnders is an "intriguing profile" for the Bianconeri, thanks to his proven track record in Serie A. After all, he was named the league's Best Midfielder last season during his time at Milan. That experience could be a major asset, especially compared to Douglas Luiz, who has struggled to adapt to the Italian game.

However, there's a catch. Reijnders won't come cheap. His high book value means Juventus would need to make a significant investment. Albanese suggests the Old Lady might only be able to afford him through a player exchange or an initial loan deal—but it's far from certain that Manchester City would entertain such terms.

For now, the rumor mill keeps turning, and Juventus fans have plenty to ponder as the summer transfer window approaches. Will Reijnders be the next midfield maestro to trade the Premier League for Serie A?
