Tijjani Reijnders in Manchester City’s crosshairs: Milan protects itself
Acc Milan soccer market: Tijjani Reijnders, one of the happiest notes in the Rossoneri’s turbulent season, has ended up in Manchester City’s sights. He, in fact, has been pointed out by Pep Guardiola as the ideal replacement for mainstay Kevin De Bruyne, destined to take off the jersey of the club whose fortunes he has contributed to since 2015. And the Diavolo is trying to get to grips with the situation, both economically and in terms of the project.
Accordingly, Milan, aware of Reijnders’ value, has already protected itself by renewing the midfielder’s contract until 2030. This will allow the Rossoneri to handle the’operation with all the calm of the case, thus being able to put their own conditions on the player’s price. From this point of view, it is almost certain that, should the deal go through, the proceeds will not be less than 60 million euros.
Of course, giving up Reijnders would be extremely painful, but the failure to make it to the cups in the 2025-2026 season requires Milan to do its own calculations. While the new management, with a new sporting director and a coach other than Sergio Conceiçao, will have to find a new pivot on the field as well, the treasury could be reinvested in the market by dressing valuable elements in Rossoneri.
One of them could be Samuele Ricci, who at Torino seems to have completed his maturation process so much so that he has since become one of the pivots of the Italian national team. The Tuscan, who is also a temptation for Inter, could leave for a sum close to 30 million, thus giving Milan the chance to retain enough money to give the new coach additional reinforcements.
The Italian team is also interested in Ricci.
