Manchester City Reaches Agreement To Sign Tijjani Reijnders From AC Milan

‎Manchester City has reached an agreement with AC Milan for Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders.

‎City are expected to pay around 55 million euros (approximately £46 million) for the 26-year-old, who has agreed to a five-year contract to join the Premier League club.

‎The formalities of the deal are still to be completed but it appears City have landed their first major summer signing.

‎Reijnders was a standout performer in an otherwise disappointing season for Milan, who finished eighth in Serie A and missed out on European qualification.

‎Having joined the Italian giants from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2023, Reijnders scored 15 goals in the 2024-25 season.

‎He will strengthen Pep Guardiola’s midfield options following Kevin De Bruyne’s departure.

‎City will play their first match of the Club World Cup against Morocco’s Wydad AC on June 18.

‎City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said last week that the club intends to be “very swift” with their transfer business this summer and is planning to have a renewed squad for the Club World Cup.

‎Reijnders netted 10 goals in 37 Serie A appearances this season. He previously played in the Eredivisie with AZ Alkmaar and PEC Zwolle.

‎He also has 22 international caps, highlighting his experience on the international stage, including a prominent role for the Netherlands at last summer’s European Championship.
