Wednesday, June 11, 2025 - Manchester City have completed the signing of Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan before the Club World Cup.
The 26-year-old has signed a five-year deal at the club.
Reijnders is a Netherlands international who had the most
goals and assists of any midfielder in Serie A last season.
Reijnders, who joined the Italian giants from AZ Alkmaar in
the summer of 2023, scored 15 goals in all competitions last season and will
bolster Pep Guardiola's midfield options following the departure of Kevin De
Bruyne
'I am ecstatic to be signing for Manchester
City,' Reijnders said.
'City are one of the biggest teams in the world, with the
best coach, world-class players and outstanding facilities.
'Under Pep Guardiola, City have won so many titles and I
want to help keep that going with a lot more success in the coming years.
'It is also a dream come true to play in the Premier
League.
'This league has seen many of the best Dutch players perform
through the years and it’s an inspiration to follow in their footsteps.
'I am really looking forward to getting going, meeting the
other players and showing the Manchester City fans what I can do.'
Man City director of football Hugo Viana added: 'We are very
happy that Tijjani has joined us, and we’re excited for him to join Pep’s
squad.
'He arrives here with extensive top-level experience in
Europe both at club level as well as on the international stage with the
Netherlands.
'Tijjani adds extra energy, composure and creativity to our
midfield and working with Pep and our coaches will only see him go from
strength to strength.'
