The man Shin Tae-yong wanted is now being courted by Pep Guardiola.
Spain's Pichahes reported on the 2nd (Korea time) 'Manchester City has chosen Kevin De Bruyne's replacement'

Rhinders, who began to make his name known in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, played in the top five European leagues in earnest by wearing a Milan uniform in 2023. Rhinders, who is considered to have excellent ability as a midfielder with ball carrying ability, pass, soccer intelligence and sharp kick in the midfield, caught the attention of fans with his outstanding performance in the midfield from Milan's first season.
He is also considered one of the best players in Milan this season. Despite Milan's slump, falling to ninth place, Rhinders is doing its part with 14 goals and three assists in 44 games.
Rhinders, who also joined the Dutch national team with his performance, was called by the Indonesian national team in the past. When head coach Shin Tae-yong was leading the Indonesian national team, he reportedly asked Rhinders, who had an Indonesian mother, about his intention to naturalize. However, Rhinders chose the Netherlands instead of Indonesia, and his younger brother, Eliano Rhinders, naturalized and joined the Indonesian national team.

Manchester City wants to recruit Rhinders, but it is not expected to be easy. Even though it is a dream recruitment that Guardiola desperately wants, Rhinders recently renewed his contract with Milan by 2030, forcing him to need a huge transfer fee to recruit.
Pichahes has strengthened his position at Milan after Rhinders re-signed the team. If the player expresses that he wants to change, the club can also consider transferring to an attractive offer. Manchester City have already started contacting, but many clubs are paying attention to Rhinders.
Attention is also focusing on whether Rhinders, who was courted by Shin Tae-yong, will head to the English Premier League (EPL) with Guardiola's love call.
