Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders has emerged as a £55million target for Nottingham Forest.

The Netherlands international is understood to be open to the move for the chance of regular first-team football and would be a key figure in Oliver Glasner's plans.

He joined City last summer from AC Milan but while he made 47 appearances in all competitions not all were from the start.

He had interest from Atletico Madrid at the start of the window but, with City's valuation around £60m, they moved on to other targets.

City paid Milan £46.5m for the 28-year-old so would make a quick profit as they look to bring in 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille after adding Elliot Anderson from Forest for £116m.

They also expect a bid from Real Madrid for Rodri though Barcelona have been weighing up an offer.
