Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders says that he hopes that AC Milan win the Scudetto, but admitted Napoli look good for a repeat.
Reijnders left Milan to join City at the beginning of the summer in a big-money move that could reach over €70m if the bonus targets are met. So far it looks like they will be, given how well the Dutchman has started life in the Premier League.

He has started all four Premier League matches at the start of the 2025-26 season and he also got the nod for the 2-0 win over Napoli in the Champions League on Thursday night. Reijnders has racked up three goal contributions already, too.
Speaking to Livescore, the former AZ Alkmaar man was asked who he thinks will win the Serie A title this year, and he put forward his former club Milan as well as last night’s opponents.
“Difficult because the season just started. But what I’ve seen now is Napoli who have won three out of three and are doing really good. But of course, I hope that Milan will win. We will see at the end of the season.”

I love this kid.. its a shame we parted with him so soon!
TJ and his father were salivating at the chance to join MC. A good player but defensively challenged with a preference for “shooting for glory” as opposed to looking for a teammate in a better position to score. No doubting that our midfield is much improved. Using the proceeds from his sale to buy Ricci and Jashari was a good move for Milan not just for this year but hopefully for years to come.
Fofana is shooting for glory … Tiji scored 15 goals last year and was second top scorer in the team 🤷♂️.
The problem was we had been using him wrong in a double pivot. He’s currently an auxillary striker at City and got an assist last night, so he knows when to pass on that setup . Defensively challenged, yes I agree with that but his passing ability was incredible..
