Tijjani Reijnders is officially a player of Milan as he signed the contract.

Milan wanted Reijnders badly, and he wanted Milan badly, and so a match made in heaven came to its conclusion today, as the player officially became a Rossonero.

The Dutchman arrived in Italy earlier this week and yesterday he had his medical check-ups and visit at Casa Milan, before signing the contract with the Diavolo.

“Milan is delighted to announce that Tijjani Reijnders has joined the Rossoneri from AZ Alkmaar on a permanent basis. The Dutch midfielder has signed a contract with the Club until 30 June 2028,” a statement reads.

“Born on 29 July 1998 in Zwolle, Tijjani played in FC Twente’s youth system until 2015 when he returned to his hometown to sign for PEC Zwolle, where he made his First Team debut on 13 August 2017 (Zwolle 4-2 Roda JC). He joined AZ the following season and then played for their reserve side for two years before making his debut in the first team. He went on to score nine goals and provide eleven assists in 105 total Eredivisie appearances. On 29 May 2023, he received his first full International call-up for the Netherlands’ Nations League Final Four campaign.

“Tijjani Reijnders will wear the number 14 shirt.” Reijnders is the fifth Milan signing of the summer, after Marco Sportiello, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Romero and Christian Pulisic.
