CaughtOffside: Milan and Arsenal on alert with Reijnders set for crunch Man City talks
"AC Milan are among the clubs alerted to the potential opportunity of Tijjani Reijnders leaving Manchester City, a report claims. Reijnders left Milan last summer for the Premier League giants after amassing 19 goals and nine assists in 104 games for the club. His first season was one of adaptation after arriving from AZ Alkmaar, but he was outstanding in 2024-25 and this earned him a €57m move (plus bonuses)."
"However, as CaughtOffside report, Reijnders could leave Manchester City after just one season. There are big changes coming, with doubts about Pep Guardiola's future as manager, while influential figures like Bernardo Silva and John Stones are leaving as free agents. What is clear is that Reijnders - who started life in England well - has 'clearly fallen out of favour' as this season has gone on. City and Reijnders 'still need to finalise a decision' on his future though, which will come at the end of the season."
"Numerous clubs are lining up ready to try and explore a deal if it becomes possible. Arsenal, Newcastle United and Aston Villa could give him the chance to stay in the Premier League, but the report mentions Milan as being keen on a potential reunion. Despite his minutes declining as the campaign has progressed, Reijnders has still racked up 48 appearances for the Citizens this season, with 15 goal contributions divided into seven goals and eight assists."
"It does seem rather obvious that a return to Milan would be mooted given his self-declared attachment to the club and a potentially ideal role for him on the right side of Massimiliano Allegri's midfield three. However, the costs and scope for the deal must be established."
Tijjani Reijnders left AC Milan for Manchester City last summer after recording 19 goals and nine assists in 104 matches. His first Premier League season involved adaptation, followed by a strong 2024-25 campaign that led to a reported €57m move plus bonuses. Reijnders could now depart after one season, amid uncertainty around Pep Guardiola’s future and the departures of Bernardo Silva and John Stones. He has reportedly fallen out of favour as the season progressed, though he still made 48 appearances and produced 15 goal contributions. Multiple clubs are monitoring his situation, including Arsenal, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and AC Milan, which may seek a reunion if terms are workable.
