Romano: Milan open talks with AZ Alkmaar over star man with €19m bid expected

AC Milan have opened official talks with AZ Alkmaar to try and find an agreement for Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, a report claims. 

As has been reported by Fabrizio Romano, the Rossoneri appear to be pushing ahead in their efforts to sign Reijnders having already reinforced the midfield slightly with Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

Milan have been linked with a host of midfielders both before and after it became clear that Sandro Tonali is moving to Newcastle, which was officially confirmed on Monday.

Reijnders is a player that Milan have already agreed personal terms with, so he would earn 1.7 million per season should the deal be struck with AZ.

As per the report, the first verbal bid is expected to be €19 million which should not be too far from AZ’s valuation, with the talks set to continue throughout the week to find an agreement.

The other midfielder Milan are thought to have agreed personal terms with is Yunus Musah of Valencia.
