Premier League
Tijjani Reijnders reappears on the horizon of the AC Milan transfer market just one year after leaving San Siro to join Manchester City. The Italian club has requested to be kept informed about any changes in the Dutchman's situation and would be willing to explore his return if given permission to leave the Etihad Stadium.
The move is still in a preliminary stage. There is no open negotiation between the entities, but the Rossoneri officials want to be well-positioned in case the midfielder is no longer considered an untouchable piece within the English project.
Tijjani Reijnders back on AC Milan's agenda
The AC Milan transferred Tijjani Reijnders in June 2025 for a fixed amount of 55 million euros, a figure that could increase through various variables. The Dutch international then signed a contract for five seasons, so his connection with Manchester City extends until June 30, 2030.
His return, therefore, would not be simple or economical. The English club made a significant investment in a player expected to be part of the midfield renewal and has no contractual need to sell him for less than the amount paid.
Reijnders, who will turn 28 on July 29, played 28 Premier League matches during his first season in England. He scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists, positive stats despite not always enjoying a guaranteed condition within the rotation.

Remembering his outstanding performance in Serie A
The interest from Milan is explained by the performance Reijnders offered before leaving. Tijjani Reijnders was named the best midfielder in Serie A in the 2024-25 season, after becoming one of the most productive and consistent players in the Italian championship.
During his two seasons at San Siro, he played 104 official matches and won the Italian Supercup. His ability to lead, break lines, and arrive from deep allowed him to become one of the team's major offensive references.

Manchester City has the final say
Manchester City's position will be crucial. The latest information suggests the English club intends to keep the Dutchman, so AC Milan will have to wait for the definitive plans from the sports management and coaching staff.
The Manchester team could engage in discussions if they decide to remodel the midfield again or if the player requests more prominence. In that scenario, the Italians would try to study a loan with a purchase option or a transfer structured in various payments.
The main obstacle would be the price. After selling him for an amount close to 55 million, the Rossoneri would have difficulties reacquiring him for a similar sum without making significant sales or designing a favorable financial formula.
A return that would revolutionize Serie A
For AC Milan, bringing back Tijjani Reijnders would add creativity, versatility, and international experience to their midfield. It would also send an ambitious message within Serie A, where the club aims to compete consistently for major titles.
Currently, the Italian club is only staying attentive and has not presented any proposals. Manchester City maintains full control through the contract until 2030, while the player remains focused on his sporting commitments.
The summer will determine whether the interest turns into a real operation or remains merely a possibility. If given the green light to leave England, Tijjani Reijnders will have a familiar door open: that of an AC Milan ready to seriously consider his return.
