Matteo Moretto reports that Milan have rejected an opening offer from Manchester City for Tijjani Reijnders.

Transfer expert Matteo Moretto reports on X, formerly Twitter, that Milan have rejected an opening Manchester City offer for Reijnders.

According to the report, the Premier League side offered a transfer package worth approximately €60m, which is still not enough for the Rossoneri.

Other sources claim Reijnders is available for €75m.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Milan and Manchester City directors met yesterday, Thursday, May 29.

According to Moretto, Man City are expected to make an improved bid soon.

The Dutch midfielder was named the Best Midfielder in Serie A last season, scoring ten goals and providing five assists in 37 league appearances.

Milan have recently hired Igli Tare as their new sporting director and are on the verge of announcing Massimiliano Allegri as their new coach for the next two seasons.

Milan have failed to qualify for European competitions in the 2024-25 season, but CEO Giorgio Furlani recently stated that the club won’t be forced to sell their stars for financial reasons.

What Milan director Furlani said about Reijnders’ transfer

“I would focus not on individual players, but rather what we must do to improve and strengthen this squad,” Furlani said last week.

“Many mistakes were made, also in putting the team together, so we must adjust and improve in the interests of Milan.

“Considering the way we are run, it is not necessary to make a sacrifice.”
