Who is Reijnders and what will he bring to City?
Manchester City have completed the 55m euros (£46.3m) of Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan.
The 26-year-old has arrived on a five-year contract and is the type of balanced midfielder City lacked last season.

The Dutchman scored 15 goals in 54 matches for Milan last term. It was the best goalscoring season of Reijnders' career, with the 26-year-old hitting double figures for the first time.
But the former AZ Alkmaar man, who made his senior debut for PEC Zwolle in 2018, is far more than just goals.
Capable of playing deep or high in midfield, Reijnders' appeal to a coach like Pep Guardiola is clear.
The midfielder is capable of taking the ball in tight areas and is adept at beating the press, either through his passing or ball-carrying.
With Rodri returning from injury towards the end of last season, Reijnders could either play alongside the Spaniard or in a more advanced role.
But the main benefit he brings is giving Guardiola greater options in midfield.

U.S. men's soccer comes to Bay Area in familiar state of chaos. Will it respond in Gold Cup?
The U.S. men's national soccer team plays in the Bay Area this weekend, just one year out from the biggest moment and most powerful opportunity the program has ever had: the 2026 World Cup on home soil. Yet, as has been too often the case with the men's program, the team appears to be in chaos. This week, the Americans lost their fourth game in a row, a 4-0 pratfall to Switzerland that was so historically bad many have called it the worst showing they could remember. It was the fourth loss in a row and the alarms going off around the team haven't been this deafening since a loss to Trinidad and Tobago in October 2017, a defeat that knocked the United States out of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. In a bit of symmetry, Trinidad and Tobago is the team the United States will face on Sunday at PayPal Park in the opening game of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The biennial tournament is critical for new coach Mauricio Pochettino, who was hired last September, because it is the last tournament his team will participate in before next year's World Cup. As one of the host countries, along with Canada and Mexico, the U.S. team automatically qualified for soccer's grandest event. While much of the rest of the world slugs it out in World Cup qualifying in the coming months, the Americans will only have friendlies to play, matches that come with considerably less intensity and less likelihood of facing a squad at full strength. Will this team be ready for its first World Cup match on June 12, 2026? Right now it doesn't look ready for the College Cup, let alone the Gold Cup. Still, the Gold Cup is an important test. However, by both necessity and choice, Pochettino is treating it as an extended try out, calling in a majority of players who are based in Major League Soccer, most with little hope of making the World Cup roster. What Pochettino seems to be discovering is the lack of depth in the talent pool he's inherited. Several key American players are missing from camp. Four of Pochettino's best options are playing in the FIFA Club World Cup, a concurrent tournament also being played in the United States, muddying storylines for an American audience still unaccustomed to soccer's varied competitions. Some are injured. Some have been left off by Pochettino. And others, most notably Christian Pulisic, have opted out of their last best chance to give the U.S. team momentum and connect with the public before the World Cup. Pulisic, 26, the team's best known and arguably best player, has come under criticism for taking the summer off to rest after his long club season with AC Milan. That has led to sniping between former players and the current roster, with even parents getting involved. Soccer dad Mark Pulisic criticized Landon Donovan on social media, pointing out that Donovan had taken time off in 2012 (he failed to note that Donovan was then toward the end of his career and paid a price for his absence, being subsequently left off the 2014 World Cup roster). Pochettino has also come under fire. Earthquakes coach Bruce Arena has said that bringing in someone from the outside, like Argentinian-born Pochettino, is problematic because they don't understand the American culture. The off-field bickering and lack of results is just more of the same nonsense that has swirled around this team for the past two-plus years, since it returned home from the Qatar World Cup in late 2022. It wasn't so long ago that hopes were sky-high for the U.S. team. The hyperbolic phrase 'golden generation' was being thrown around about a group of young American players who were getting significant playing time with heavyweight European clubs and who had advanced to the round of 16 in Qatar with a record of one loss and two ties, before being ousted in a rout by the Netherlands. Their showing wasn't exactly stirring but it held seeds of promise that were expected to blossom into something significant while the United States prepared to host the World Cup. Yet nothing is blooming except more chaos and disappointment. The federation dithered for two years, first rewarding uninspiring Gregg Berhalter with another cycle as head coach, even after he had embarrassed the program with off-field issues. Then, Berhalter was fired last summer after the U.S. team flamed out of Copa America. In nine months, Pochettino hasn't exactly exhibited a sense of urgency about seizing the moment. He's 5-5 as a head coach; the four consecutive home losses is the team's worst streak since 2007 and worst home losing streak since 1988. Until Tuesday, the team had never conceded four goals so quickly at home and hadn't given up four in the first half since 1980, ancient history for American soccer. Most troubling, the team has been flat, with little urgency or passion. 'I've never seen a U.S. team play that poorly in a half of football,' said former star DaMarcus Beasley on the TNT broadcast of the Switzerland game. Among the questions swirling around the team is how important it is to American players to play for their country? How important is it to wear the crest? It brings to mind comments center back Walker Zimmerman made last summer, after playing in Paris on the first U.S. men's team to qualify for the Olympics since 2008. 'The pride of playing for your country, I think, to some degree we've gotten away from that,' he said after the Americans were knocked out in the quarterfinals. 'And feel like just because of whoever you are that you will get called in (to camp). That stuff pisses me off. I think guys, every time they put on the jersey, need to play with pride.' There isn't a lot of pride around the U.S. team right now. Not a lot of hope. One year out from the biggest moment in the history of U.S. Soccer, we'll see what they can salvage in the Gold Cup.

Barcelona reject Ligue 1 giants' opening offer for out-of-favour academy product
Ansu Fati is topping the list of Barcelona players who are considered expendable and may leave this summer. Various reports have claimed that Barcelona are even in advanced talks with AS Monaco surrounding the attacker's potential exit. Advertisement Fati, for his part, appears to be ready to leave Catalonia after struggling to earn a name for himself in the first team last season. Barcelona reject Monaco's first bid However, a recent report from MARCA has offered an update, suggesting that Fati's exit deal has hit a major snag. As per the report, Barcelona have already rejected Monaco's initial offer for the attacking outcast, deeming it insufficient. It appears the French outfit had no intention of buying Fati and only wanted a loan, with the Blaugrana covering the major part of the player's salary. The Catalans were not happy with the offer as Fati's salary is already too high, and they don't want a player leaving on loan while paying for the majority of their salaries. Barcelona want to get rid of Ansu Fati by the end of the month (Photo by) Advertisement While it remains to be seen whether Monaco follow up with a second offer for the Spaniard, the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, will try to move the option forward. Barcelona have made their desire clear: they want a loan deal for Fati with an option to buy at the end of the season. Everything appeared to be on track for the deal to go through but this development has cast doubts about the operation. The coming weeks, therefore, could prove to be crucial as Barcelona wait for Monaco's second offer while constantly finding new suitors for the attacking outcast. Fati's sale, after all, could be integral to Barcelona's transfer operations this summer, as the club have already promised UEFA to cut costs and bring in more revenue.

Pulisic calls criticism 'way out of line,' offered to play in friendlies while skipping Gold Cup
American star Christian Pulisic says while he decided to skip the CONCACAF Gold Cup, U.S. coaches turned down his offer to play in friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland because they wanted one roster for all games. 'You can talk about my performances, whatever you want, but to question my commitment especially toward the national team, in my opinion that's way out of line,' Pulisic said during an interview with former U.S. players Tony Meola, Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davis on a CBS Sports Golazo podcast released Thursday. Pulisic played about 120 games for AC Milan and the U.S. over the past two seasons. 'Toward the second half and toward the end of the season, hey, my body just started talking to me and my mind and then I started to think what is best and — what is going to be best for me leading into next year and going into the World Cup,' he said. 'Was that to play eight more games and then get no rest at all, go straight into preseason and then grind another year and then go straight into the World Cup? That's not what I thought was best for my body.' Ahead of their Gold Cup opener against Trinidad and Tobago this Sunday, the U.S. lost to Turkey 2-1 last weekend and to Switzerland 4-0 on Tuesday, giving the Americans their first four-game losing streak since 2007. 'I did want to be a part of at least the two friendlies. I did speak with the coaches and I asked and I wanted to be part of the team in whatever capacity I could and they said no,' Pulisic said. 'They said they only wanted one roster and that's the coach's decision. I fully respect that. I didn't understand it, but it is what it is.' Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard have been critical of regulars not being on the current roster. 'It is tough because I looked up to those guys growing up, Pulisic said. 'Some of these guys are my idols and I respect them so much as players.' 'Some of them, as well, even privately the way they can — the way they talk to me and clearly want to show support and be your friend and everything and then it goes and they say something slightly different publicly,' he added. 'Does it hurt me? Am I surprised by it? I don't know, not really. People are always going to have their opinions but in the end I'm focused on how can I better myself.' Pulisic rejected some of the criticism aimed at the U.S. following losses to Panama and Canada in March at the CONCACAF Nations League final four. 'I didn't come out of that feeling like we were a weak team or performed really poorly,' he said. 'The only other thing that does frustrate me is this narrative that people want to create, that it's that we don't care, that's it's a commitment and stuff like that. That's something that in my opinion it can just be kind of a lazy take.' 'Just to say always, 'These guys don't care, bring guys that have pride,'' he added, 'that's just not — that's not really the answer, in my opinion. There's a lot more to a soccer game that you need to do to win than just to care, and I think a lot of us care.' Pulisic watched Tuesday's loss to Switzerland from afar, 'It's hard to watch. The results have been tough, for sure,' he said. 'There's still a lot of promising things that we can take from it. Going into the Gold Cup, I still think we can be excited and want to support this team. In these games, there's been some changes, some new faces, and it's not easy for those type of guys to step in and do an amazing job and expect great results right away.' Pulisic laughed when Davies pointed out Massimiliano Allegri will be his 13th team coach (counting Thomas Tuchel and Frank Lampard twice). 'Someone said I'm the problem,' Pulisic said. ___ AP soccer:
