Man City Signs Reijnders from AC Milan for €55 Million

Manchester City have agreed to sign Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for a reported fee of €55 million. This is the club’s first big signing of the summer. Reijnders is a 26-year-old Dutch midfielder who played almost every match for Milan last season. He was very important for his team, with 37 out of 38 matches played, over 3,100 minutes on the pitch, and a 90% pass accuracy.

He also recovered the ball 125 times for his team. Many people say his hard work and ability to play in different positions will help Manchester City’s midfield a lot.

This move is a big deal because Manchester City want to make their squad stronger before the FIFA Club World Cup. The club is hoping to win this tournament. After the news came out, many fans started talking about it online.

Some fans are very excited and believe that a midfield with Reijnders and Rodri will be the best in the Premier League.

One fan said,

“Already the best midfield duo in the PL,” while another called it an “Insane midfield.”

The transfer has also brought up old arguments about how much money Manchester City spends on players. Some people are asking how the club can keep buying expensive players even when there are rules about how much clubs can spend.

One person said, “Pep spent around half a billion since January… how are City able to spend without getting into trouble,” showing that not everyone is happy with City’s spending.

Another person called City “a virus to the sport,” showing how divided opinions are about the club.

Some fans think that signing Reijnders is Manchester City’s way of replacing Kevin De Bruyne, who has left the club.

One fan said, “Nothing can make me fear this team again after KDB don go. Anything wey dem Dey do now na try and error.” But there are also fans who trust the manager, Pep Guardiola, and believe that City will be strong again. One said, “Man City are back.”

For AC Milan, losing Reijnders is a big loss. He was a key player for them, and selling him for €55 million shows how hard it is for Italian clubs to keep their best players when Premier League teams come with big offers.

This transfer also shows that more and more top players from Serie A are moving to England, which could make the Italian league less competitive.

On social media, people are talking about the transfer in many ways. Some are excited, while others are not sure about the price.

One person said, “this is the 4th different total I’ve seen reported for this player,” showing confusion about the fee.

Another fan joked about Liverpool, saying, “Klopp would have signed Lewis Dunk for €10m and said that Liverpool is not like other clubs they have a ceiling.” The picture of Reijnders and Rodri in City shirts with Guardiola has also caught people’s attention and made the news even bigger.

Manchester City are showing that they want to stay on top in England and Europe. Under Pep Guardiola, who has been at the club since 2016, City have been winning trophies and playing good football.

Last season, they went unbeaten in nine games and won the Community Shield. Signing Reijnders shows they want to keep winning and stay ahead of their rivals.

For AC Milan, this transfer is another sign that they are finding it hard to compete with the richest clubs. They have lost a very important player, and now they must find a way to move forward.

The signing of Tijjani Reijnders by Manchester City is a major story in football. It highlights City’s ambition, the challenges for AC Milan, and the way fans and rivals are reacting to big transfers in the modern game.
