Tijjani Reijnders recently commented on his transfer from AC Milan to Manchester City during the summer window, emphasizing that he viewed the move as a significant advancement in his professional football journey.
The Dutch midfielder, after spending two seasons at San Siro, acknowledged that despite his fond memories of Milan, Manchester City`s consistent success and extensive resources presented an irresistible opportunity.
Manchester City reportedly secured Reijnders for approximately €70 million, a deal that saw AC Milan (the Rossoneri) achieve a substantial profit, having acquired the player for only €20 million in 2023.
