Looking at replacements for Tonali, Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Milan are interested in signing Tijjani Reijnders from AZ Alkmaar, the Dutch team that eliminated Lazio in the round of 16 of the most recent UEFA Conference League.
The Rossoneri coach Stefano Pioli has already given his go-ahead for the possible signing of the Dutchman, who plays mostly as a box-to-box midfielder and therefore could occupy multiple roles.
However, AZ Alkmaar are asking for €18m plus bonuses for his transfer and they have already rejected other lower offers from the Premier League and Sporting CP, who offered around €14m plus bonuses.
The 24-year-old Reijnders played mostly in a 4-2-3-1 system for the Eredivisie side, amassing 8 goals and 11 assists last season which helped him win their player of the season award.
