Tijjani Reijnders continues to be linked with a move to Manchester City, and according to Fabrizio Romano, the English side have officially opened talks with AC Milan.
Reijnders has been a very important player for Milan this season and you could argue that he has been one of, if not the, best midfielder in Serie A. With 15 goals and 5 assists in all competitions, he has surpassed all expectations.

Unfortunately for the Rossoneri fans, however, this success has caught the attention of some big clubs. Manchester City are one of them and according to Fabrizio Romano, they have opened official talks with Milan over a transfer.
The Etihad side are keen on closing a deal quickly, both in view of the Club World Cup and to beat other clubs in the race, and negotiations will continue next week. Then, as per Romano, the first official offer will be put on the table.
Italian journalist Daniele Longo has added that Man City are willing to offer €65m for the Dutchman, while Milan want at least €75m for their star. It remains to be seen if an agreement can be found but at least according to the reports, the interest is very concrete.
He is sold, plain and simple..
House of cards is falling
70 million for Reijnders is good business.
70 million is around 55 of capital gain.
At the end for Tonali,Milan showed around 40 million of capital gain. I think Milan never was reach included bonuses.
That’s how departure transfers for Milan looks like. Reijnders story can again be very bad for Milan in terms of fee+ bonuses.
M.O.B. if I was redbird, I would sell my best player for millions. Players come and go, but my family has to eat. To hell with the fans. Money Over B…..
100 million or keep their mouth up, period!
I hope if we keep selling our best players
Sad as it would be to see him go, the million dollar questions would be to see how that money is reinvested. What is the plan? What will the replacements look like. What script are we rewriting for Milan next season. And the past 2 mercatos don’t provide much comfort.
Right now idiots from RedBird Elliot on books have: Origi, Morata, Bennacer, huge salaries and ammortisations.
Than flops like Ruben Loftus, Emerson Royal, Tomori, Musah, Okafor, Chukwueze.
Keeping flops – selling best = worst possible result next season ever.
And even if they sell flops, who and for how much they will bring new ones…
Idiots
True. Selling your best player is a piece of cake business. The main task, and it should be one of the main responsibilities of the manager, is to deal with those deadwoods.
We can see many loan with only option to buy all over again next season for those players and ended up not being bought.
It’s good while it lasts. Let’s just hoper we’re not using the money to get 2 Musahs. Considering there’s no European comp next season making it even harder to attract players.
Gerry needs money to balance his books. So Reijnders will be “advised” to leave just like Tonali was “advised”.
Big club(s)…. Man City only became a big club under Arabian money…. Are ACM not a big club….. ?…..
Is it not the difference between ownership model and ambitions…..? Arabian people have enough brains to put football people incharge of football matters.
Then we have the Americans and Gerry Cardinale.
Reijnders fate is sealed.
Well said, they put up their money after hiring smart people to over watch the spending. City for example spent in the last 10 years exactly as United, however the results are blain and clear. Its not always putting money, smart people put money along with a clear plan for success.
Milan not a big club in Italy right now…
How many players Milan bought over 50m?
We are wasting talents and management with poor planning not just current one.
Darmian, Acerbi, Hakan in current Inter squad
Bryan Chris, Bellanova, Locat, Donna and many more players are released by Milan
Instead of him plz sell leao and theo for around 100 110 M euros, Riender’s stock will get up exponentially within in a year he is a good creator of the ball and passing are accurate and exquisite to watch
Red bird is using Milan to make money.
Milan is very cheap now.
Everything else related to Milan, they don’t care.
If you believe in Cardinale, got an issue of being a “real” Milan fan.
At least ask for 90mil.
It is sad that we are loosing some good player like RIejnder and Leao, it will be difficult to get players in their calibre,Milan must sell or live player like walker,chicikuze,Theo,Thiaw,Royal,loftus cheek,Bennacer,,send some young player on loan bring back salaemakers,buy Toneli bring in Conte from Napoli , Vincenzo from Bologna or zavi or Sabrina’s, from como,bring in a good strong goal scorers.Milan has some very difficult decision to make,for them to be able to be serie a champion and to qualified in the champions league.Milan FOR ever..
You guys from two years ago better have the same reasons for letting Tonali go as with Reinjders.
I also wonder what will be their excuse this time. Time to grab some 🍿
The player(s) must have asked for this move.
85-90 mil at least just to sit and discuss. But since it’s Fabrizio who’s reporting this, Tiji might as well be sold. Let’s just hope that with Tare now as our DS, we invest the money to get a player which is at least close to Tiji’s quality.
I’m sick and tired of the “it’s because they’re American” or “the American model” criticism. Yes, Milan’s management is a flaming dumpster fire, but that’s because they’re incompetent and just happen to be American.
Who owns Liverpool, reigning EPL champions? Who owns Arsenal , who will finish second? England will have five sides in the UCL next year and three will be American-owned.
Marseille finished second in France. Who owns them?
Two of the past six UCL winners have been American-owned.
Heck, even the “Deadpool” ownership at Wrexham just got their third straight promotion, something that had NEVER happened in over 100 years of EFL history.
Yes, some of the American owners seem to be greedy moneyball d-bags, most notably at Milan and Manchester United, but there are also plenty of American owners who are killing it. Unfortunately, we were purchased by the wrong Americans!
I totally agree with you. Gerry and co thought that moneyball trumps all and when you have Mr Moneyball himself, Billy Bean, who needs Maldini right?
Someone should tell Gerry and Zlatan this ain’t Hollywood and you just won the dumbest owner in sports prize asshole.
He just devalued his club by 600 mil and will lose 80mil next season.’
So let’s get used to the fact that Maignan, Theo and maybe even Leao will go this summer or next. Good grief
Yep exactly that! Its really that we got the wrong American. The American we got is being too American…pompous and think they know “soccer” better than anyone else. They’re implementing American style of business into European football without taking the time to understand the landscape. The Americans that have succeeded were “un-American” so-to-speak, they were humble and read the room better (I think of Pools owners for instance). And those Americans had a plan. Ours boasts often about how good he is in sports, yet for all..we haven’t seen any of those resources he brags about being brought into our company bar Beane ofc. This is why the whole narrative of the American model that’s being placed on us. Heck even Elliot was humble and understanding enough to have football people handle the club before Gerry came with the axe.
Watching Napoli’s celebrations tonight, makes you realise what we might have had this season..
Theo and Maignan first, then maybe Leao – Reijnders is the one we should hold onto – it’s a show of strength and belief in the future
ACMilan is like and old decrepit lady . She dreams about his young age with melancholy. AC Milan is 9 spot , we are just history. Wake up
If so, why are we here cheering up this club
