Manchester City have reportedly reached an agreement over the signing of AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders for €75m.
That’s according to Alfredo Pedulla for Football Italia, with the journalist stating that Reijnders is set to earn €8m a year at the Etihad Stadium.
The Netherlands international shone during his time at Milan and is now expected to become Kevin De Bruyne’s replacement in that creative role in Pep Guardiola’s side.
This follows Reijnders contributing an impressive 15 goals and five assists for Milan in the season just gone, according to the Italian football news outlet.

Can Manchester City bounce back next season?
City were disappointing in 2024/25, and it looks like they’re determined to bounce back next season with a strong start to the summer.
Guardiola’s side couldn’t win a fifth Premier League title in a row, slipping to third in the table, while they also didn’t progress much in the Champions League, and surprisingly lost the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace.
Omar Marmoush joined in January and looks a fine signing, but it’s clear that further changes will be needed to help get MCFC back to their dominant best again.
Reijnders looks a particularly exciting addition to Guardiola’s squad, and one imagines Cherki and Ait-Nouri could also have a strong impact.
