Manchester City's Portuguese midfielder, Thijani Reynders, commented on the latest transfer fee and said he was surprised to hear his value.
It is known that the Citizens acquired him from AC Milan last summer for approximately €55 million. Transfermarkt now values the player at €70 million.
"To be honest, hearing this number, I said 'wow.' This is a very large sum. I often check the pages of my former teammates on Transfermarkt to see how their careers are developing. But I hadn't checked my own price. I was also surprised by the amount paid for me during the transfer. "It was a pleasant compliment for me," Reynders said in an interview with Sport Witness.
The 27-year-old has had a good start to the season with the team so far. This season, he made 18 appearances in all competitions, scoring 1 goal and providing 5 assists.
Reynders' role in City
Experts believe that Reynders' rise after the transfer is attributed to his adaptation to Guardiola's system. His technical skills and quick grasp of the game gave the team balance in midfield.
Some analysts believe Reynders could become a key player for City in the future. Because he plays an important role not only in the transition from defense to attack, but also shows great activity in putting pressure on the opponent during pressing.
Therefore, the increase in Reynders' market price is perceived as natural. Because every player at City has the opportunity to demonstrate their potential - which also increases the transfer value.
Reynders is currently considered one of the players who has found their place in the team. In his opinion, a large transfer value is not just a number, but a recognition that shows the value of his work.
