Orphan of Sandro Tonali, transferred to Newcastle this summer, AC Milan is on target for his replacement! Recently, the Lombard club accelerated talks with AZ Alkmaar for the signing of Tijjani Reijnders, author of a good season with the Dutch club in the Eredivisie (34 games, 4 goals and 6 assists). If the versatile 24-year-old midfielder gave his consent last month to the formation led by Stefano Pioli, it turns out that the file is closed!
In effect, Sky Sports reports that the two clubs have agreed to a deal worth €19m plus €4m in bonuses. If some contractual details still remain to be settled, the player trained at PEC Zwolle is expected in Lombardy at the beginning of next week to pass his traditional medical examination. In the meantime, the Batavian has been authorized by his club not to participate in the pre-season match against Lech Poznan this Saturday afternoon. In the process, the sports director of AZ Alkmaar Max Huiberts confirmed the departure of Tijjani Reijnders with the media Noordhollands Dagblad.“He is on his way to AC Milan. The feelings seem much more positive now. Yes, he has permission to speak to AC Milan, if he hasn’t already. It’s not over yet, but Reijnders is leaving. Milan show they really want it”, he assured. After Ruben Loftus Cheek, AC Milan is about to fulfill a new objective for this summer transfer window, namely to find a second versatile midfielder at a lower cost.
