Milan have officially confirmed the signing of Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AZ Alkmaar on a five-year contract. The 24-year-old was one of the Rossoneri’s primary targets this summer after they sold Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United. A statement on the clubs official website confirmed the signing:
AC 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.
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.
