AC Milan will launch another bid for AZ Alkmaar midfielder Tijjani Reijnders after having their first offer rejected, according to a report.
It seems that Reijnders is the man that the Milan management have settled on as the ideal profile to join Ruben Loftus-Cheek this summer and help rebuild the midfield after Sandro Tonali’s club-record exit.
According to the latest from Fabrizio Romano, Milan will bid again soon for Reijnders after having an opening offer worth €19m including add-ons rejected as it was not enough.
Talks are continuing with AZ Alkmaar and the player is pushing for the move, so there seems to be optimism that a positive conclusion can be reached.
Another arrival will be confirmed before the team meet for preseason preparations in less than a week as Luka Romero will join as a free agent in the next 24 hours. His medical has been booked for Thursday.
I thought he will say done deal here we go 😀
So basically AC Internazionale has half of Italian national first team and AC Milan has maybe 1. And they don’t intend to buy Italian players at all. It is beyond shameful.
Fast paced identity loss. Shame.
To put some background:
inter milan was founded by disgruntled section of AC Milan. They want to use more of international players while AC Milan want to stay with Italian players. Well… that’s obviously 115 years ago…
Why are you explaining something we all know? “To put some background”. Well…obviously everyone knows that.
Are you sure everyone know? 😂
Maldini gone
Tonali gone
Amateur owner with Moncada and Furlani who can’t make serious and normal signings..
I am kinda surprised (in a negative way) what Curva Sud is waiting for..
Other fans would already boycott ..
Curva Sud is quiet
Curva Sud has been spineless since 2008. Their leaders are charged with fraud pretty much every weekend lol What do you expect from them?
Agree with the above, don’t need another foreign clown, stick with Pobega, and have a look at some young Italian blood, we need some identity, use the saved money for orsolini, sell kalulu and bring in scalvini
In modern football, nationalities don’t count just talent, the club being in Italy is just a geographical fact, ACi Milan is a footballing institution not an Italian institution, the management are using the head not their heart or patriotic nature.
It’s about improving Milan as a club not as an Italian club, what favours has the Italian government or seria a done for Milan, they never promote seria a or maximize its potential and now it’s fallen behind, seria a was the yardstick for fotty leagues, the players and the style of play now it is a joke thanks to the Italian way of running things.
This guy has no clue about the beautiful game. He is ruining something beautiful. 0 italian players bought. He should’ve bought inter with this mentality. They are called internacionale for a reason. We are MILAN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Shame on elliot for selling our team to this clown.
Reijnders is one of those players that mate the game beautiful. Frattesi on the other hand is only good at running.
Reijnders will be a fail, but maybe not as big one as Loftus Cheek.
That may be the case. Honestly, haven’t followed the guy and I’m not picking on him. I’m just saying that i wish we would buy more italians. Various departments. I dont want my milan to have a team with almost 0 italians. That’s inter’s job.
Sure, I get that. A lot of Milan fans are also Italy fans (includong me) but I’d rather Milan do good business and play captivating football. Sadly there isn’t a lot of talent in Italy right now, and the ones that are there are massively overprized due to home-grown quotas.
Because Milan want to play different brand of football compared to what Italian players are used to.
I think Maldini had revealed it 1-2 years ago.
Maybe all non-Italian players should be banned from buying and playing in AC Milan! Maybe even erase all goals and titles where hateful foreigners had a big contribution, there since the 60s! All those swedes or dutch, not to mention the balkans or africans. For the rest, I don’t know why we don’t write in Italian here!? Your comments are slowly but surely moving in this direction.
Maybe you should wait until your period is done to reply? AC Milan is an ITALIAN CLUB.
Of course it is, that’s why it’s called AC Milan and not AC Milano !
There has been mix. We had great non italian players but so we also had great italian players in the same team. Its was a beautiful mix. No 1 wants to ban non italian players, but there should be some sort of balance. Like martin says, we are an italian team afterall. I hate to become like inter in the past. Identity loss at its finest.
Well we will be like Arsenal in 2000 era, in one game, theres no England player in starting lineup and bench
Everyone says we need Italian players while Italy failed to make World Cup last two times -there isn’t any good Italian players out there which is clean from the national team results. SMH
Ahhh yes I was about to comment this.
They need to stop making it look like there are Pirlos and De Rossi’s out there. There aren’t. The fact that Italy hasn’t made it to the WC last two times is telling.
Besides our glorious past requires the flair from the Dutch and Brazilians so they shouldn’t get it twisted. It’s as much due to them as it was due to the Italians in the team. We would not have won UCL 2007 without Kaka, FACT!
Go get this dutch player , he is best player for AZ Alkmar. He can take set piece too. . For italian player that most ppl here want , only few are worth , maybe if atalanta interesting with CDK , we can offer swap deal CDK with scalvini ( give atalanta 10-20% resale value for atalanta because scalvini value higher than CDK ) that will be good have hot prospect italian CB , also if we failed get samuel chukwu better go get orsolini 10-15m euro from bologna for RW. Last are italian striker , maybe we can convince westham loan with obligation to buy for scamacca . That will make AC Milan get 3 italian player
Football is not about nationality. Sometimes, you may have so many nationals in a team, other times, you don’t have much. What matters is unity, and the strive for a common goal. As long as the guy can do the job well, I’m ok with him. I think the coach and management believe in him to fill the position. I hope they get him.
I’m a CFC fan (Chelsea) I think throughly millan need Italian Blood 🙏 to be in their team!! It’s every where Even in England we all need a London player in One of the rivals that’s the beauty of football but sure cheek will improve millan will improve the midfield
