Tijjani Reijnders transfer news: Man City agree deal to sign AC Milan midfielder

04-06-2025 01:01 PM


Ammon News - Manchester City have agreed a £46.3m (€55m) deal with AC Milan to sign Tijjani Reijnders.

He is set to sign a five-year deal at the Etihad.

Reijnders is a Netherlands international who had the most goals and assists of any midfielder in Serie A last season.

He was a bright spark in a disappointing season for Milan, who only finished eighth in Serie A, missing out on qualification for Europe.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Italian giants from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2023, scored 15 goals in 2024-25 and will bolster Pep Guardiola's midfield options following the departure of Kevin De Bruyne.

City are hoping to get players in before the Club World Cup - but they will not rush deals just for the sake of the tournament.

The early window for the tournament in the USA closes on Tuesday June 10. Club World Cup teams can also use an in-tournament registration period after the group stages from June 27-July 3 to add players to their squads.

City's opening CWC game is on 18 June against Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia.

Lyon playmaker Rayan Cherki and Wolves left-back Rayan Ait Nouri are their other key targets.

Ait Nouri effectively has two years left on his Wolves deal including a club-held option and is expected to cost at least £50m. He is in the Algeria squad for friendlies on Thursday and Tuesday.

Cherki scored 12 goals and provided 20 assists in 44 appearances for Lyon this season.

City have been keen to strengthen at full-back and in the No 10 position this summer. Sky sports
