Manchester City have officially confirmed the signing of 26-year-old Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan, securing a five-year contract until 2030.
Transfer Structure & Financial Details
According to reputable journalist Matteo Moretto, the transfer fee is structured as €57 million in fixed payments plus €14 million in performance-related add-ons, with €65 million of the total fee considered “easily triggerable” based on metrics like Champions League qualification, Premier League titles, and individual appearances (e.g., 50+ games per season) . This makes it the second-most expensive signing in Manchester City’s history, trailing only Erling Haaland’s €75 million move in 2022.
Player Profile & Career Trajectory
Tijjani Reijnders joined AC Milan from AZ Alkmaar in 2023 for a fee of €20.5 million. Despite signing a new long-term contract with Milan as recently as March 2025 (valid until 2030), his exceptional form—15 goals and 4 assists in 54 appearances across all competitions during the 2024-25 season—attracted relentless interest from European giants.
