Manchester City have been given permission to put £46.3million midfielder Tijjani Reijnders through his medical on Sunday - even though the Dutchman will still officially be with Ronald Koeman's Netherlands' squad.

Koeman, a close friend of City boss Pep Guardiola, has been given permission for Reijnders to be put through his paces on Sunday, less than 24 hours after Holland face Finland in Helsinki.

‌

It is not yet clear whether the 26-year-old will fly to Manchester in a private jet or whether City will send a team of medics to the KNVB's training camp outside the town of Zeist.

‌

Holland face another qualifier against Malta in Groningen on Tuesday night, when Reijnders is expected to feature. City have agreed a deal with both Milan and the player after he scored 15 goals for the Italian club.

The Blues want the transfer concluded as quickly as possible so that Guardiola can name Reijnders in his squad for the Club World Cup in the United States.

City want at least three new players available for the tournament. They have agreed terms for Lyon's attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki and Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Both will arrive at the Etihad in deals worth around £35million and are also expected to undergo medicals over the next few days despite being on international duty with France and Algeria respectively.
