To reinforce the midfield department, AC Milan must sign, soon, a few midfielders to replace those who will not be there next season (Aster Vranckx, Tiémoué Bakayoko, and more importantly, Sandro Tonali). In this sense, Tijjani Reijnders has been linked with the red and black faithful.
According to what is reported by Tuttosport newspaper today, the Dutch player of AZ Alkmaar is highly regarded because he can comfortably play in a two-man midfield and also as a central player in a 3-man midfield. As per the source, his value should be at around 18 million euros and is being targeted by different clubs such as Sporting Lisbon and some English clubs.
Tijjani Reijnders has expressed his willingness to join the AC Milan team, according to the latest report. He is 24 years old. His deal with AZ Alkmaar runs until the summer of 2027. He played 54 matches this season (participating in 4823 minutes in total, which is a very impressive feat). He scored 7 goals and provided 12 assists to his teammates.
You could only consider Tijjani to be a ‘replacement for tonali’ if you’ve never seen him play. Totally different characteristics as a central midfielder.
Tuttosport described him as a potential Tonali replacement. Plus, they do have similar traits actually.
