Manchester City Sign Tijjani Reijnders Ahead of Club World Cup

Posted : 11 June 2025

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Dutch international Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan in a deal worth £46.3 million. The 26-year-old midfielder joins on a five-year contract and becomes the fourth addition in a busy week for the English club.

 

The flurry of transfers, including Rayan Cherki, Marcus Bettinelli, and Rayan Ait-Nouri, signals a comprehensive rebuild following a disappointing season by the club’s standards. With the Club World Cup on the horizon, the new arrivals have been registered just in time for the group stage beginning June 14 in the United States.

 

Reijnders, who joined Milan from AZ Alkmaar in 2023, notched 15 goals in a challenging season where the Italian side finished eighth in Serie A. His move to City comes amid the departure of key players such as Kevin De Bruyne, and he is expected to bring energy and creativity to Pep Guardiola's midfield.

 

 Expressing his excitement, Reijnders praised City’s pedigree and the opportunity to work under Guardiola. City’s director of football Hugo Viana echoed the enthusiasm, highlighting Reijnders’ European experience and the value he adds to the squad.

 

City’s early transfer window activity underscores their determination to bounce back from a third-place Premier League finish and an early Champions League exit. Club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak acknowledged that last summer’s transfer approach lacked urgency, a mistake they’ve sought to correct this time.

 

 Reijnders and his fellow signings are part of an aggressive rebuild that began in January and continues as the club prepares to defend its world title in the revamped 32-team Club World Cup. City will begin their campaign on June 18 against Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia.
