Transfer Talk: Milan look to ward off Reijnders suitors
Posted Tuesday, October 29, 2024 by ESPN
AC Milan will look to extend the contract of midfielder Tijjani Reijnders amid interest from Manchester City and Barcelona, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Reijnders joined the Italian outfit in July 2023 from AZ Alkmaar and has been in impressive form this season, notching two goals and two assists across all competitions, including two goals in three UEFA Champions League appearances. Whilst the Dutchman is under contract until 2028, Milan have understandably been keen to further secure his future with the club.
The report reveals that Milan have made contact with Reijnders' representatives regarding a potential new contract. It is understood that the hope from the Italian club is that they will be able to extend his deal by a further season, alongside an increase in salary. Reijnders is reportedly happy at the club, however, interest from elsewhere could see his head turn.
Manchester City and Barcelona are both circling the 26-year-old, with the latter being long-term admirers of the playmaker. The Catalan giants attempted to persuade Reijnders to make the move to the Spanish club in 2023, however, he opted for a switch to Milan instead. Manchester City, meanwhile, are reportedly plotting a January approach for Reijnders as they see him as the ideal cover for Rodri, will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament last month.
