Tijjani Reijnders will very soon become a Milan player as a breakthrough was reached in the negotiations today.
Important news came out today (Saturday) as Milan and AZ Alkmaar are very close to concluding the deal that would see 24-year-old Reijnders arriving in Casa Milan in the next hours.
According to Milannews.it, Gianluca Di Marzio, Luca Bianchin, Matteo Moretto and others, an agreement was found this afternoon between the clubs and only final details need to be settled before the medical can be scheduled and the Dutchman can become a Milan player.
Milannews.it reports that the deal is for €20m plus bonuses, while Di Marzio reports €19m plus €4m of bonuses. Some reports say that he’ll sign a five-year deal, while others suggest a four-year deal. His salary is expected to be €1.6m per season, although there could also be a signing bonus.
The first offer of €18 million plus €3m of bonuses was initially rejected, but Milan raised the bid and found the deal. Bianchin of La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Reijnders pushed hard for the move and he agreed to give up on €3m that AZ owed him in order to facilitate the move and join Stefano Pioli’s squad as soon as possible. Pioli had a number of phone calls with the midfielder and he strongly wanted to have him available before the United States tour.
Reijnders would be the second midfielder to join the club after Ruben Loftus-Cheek and would be the fifth signing in general this summer after Marco Sportiello, RLC, Luka Romero and Christian Pulisic.
Hope he will contribute a lot.
Hope Adli will shine as a super sub for Pulisic
How about Aleksandr Golovin of Monaco for all rounder AM? He could play well in left, center and right. He is the best player in Monaco now.
no Ruzzians pls
I hope everyone knows that Krunic will start game 1. Even if we get Musah, Reijnders, Dominguez etc, Pioli will not start a brand new midfield game 1. Imagine if we get a new CF, We will have a brand new midfield and 2/3 of the attack brand new. No coach is that crazy, least of all Pioli
If he doesn’t start our brand new midfielders maybe he should start adli and podega
LOL you would think. All i know is that it wouldnt surprise me if day one, we see Krunic and Messias
LW: Pusilic
RW: Romero
CM: Reijnders, Musah, RLC
RB: Singo
GK: Sportiello
After next week we will need a vice-Theo, Tonali replacement, RW, ST.
And get rid off: Rebic, Origi, Ballo-Toure, Messias, CDK, Saelemakers, Caldara.
Koopmeiners-CDK+5-7M swap?
Chukwueze-Saelemakers swap+10M?
Danjuma + Pellegrini loan in
Rebic and Origi dont want to leave. Caldara is basically out for free. Teams dont normally do swaps. it isnt fifa 2023.
Atalanta was interested in CDK…
