AC Milan and AZ Alkmaar have reached an agreement for the transfer of Tijjani Reijnders, who is expected to arrive in Italy at the start of next week. The Rossoneri have both the player and Stefano Pioli to thank for it.
The two clubs have reached an agreement at €20m plus bonuses, as per several reports, and Reijnders should arrive in Milano at the start of next week. After the medical tests, he will sign a deal worth €1.6m per year and there is also a sign-on bonus.
According to MilanNews, Stefano Pioli had several phone calls with the midfielder (assuring him of a key part in the project) and also pushed the management to close the deal before the US pre-season tour. In the end, Reijnders also helped pushed the move over the line.
It’s a great signing for Milan as they really need a player like Reijnders for the midfield. But above all, it’s a big signal from the new management, who have struggled to win over all of the fans since the sacking of Paolo Maldini. However, now things are looking up.
