Tijjani Reijnders, currently one of the standout figures at Milan, could have worn the Atlético de Madrid shirt. Before making the leap to the Italian giant, the Dutch midfielder was offered to the colchonero team, but Cholo Simeone chose not to proceed with the operation. Today, this decision prompts reflection at the rojiblanco club, as Reijnders has established himself as one of the top midfielders in the European scene.

Tijjani Reijnders could have signed for Atlético de Madrid

The Dutch player, who arrived at Milan from AZ Alkmaar, has shown in Italy that his quality transcends borders. His vision of the game, precision in passing, and ability to break lines have made the midfielder a key piece for the rossonero team. His quick adaptation to Serie A and his prominence in Milan's system have placed him in the orbit of the top clubs in Europe, who are now seeking to secure his services.

Meanwhile, at Atlético de Madrid, they cannot help but look back with some nostalgia at what could have been. When Reijnders was offered to the Madrid club, the coaching staff did not believe he fit into the team's plans. However, considering the player's impact in a league as demanding as the Italian one, this decision appears to have been a miscalculation. While Cholo continues to seek alternatives to strengthen the midfield, the Dutchman shines at San Siro.

Now, with his market value skyrocketing and several European giants monitoring his progress, Reijnders emerges as one of the most attractive names in the upcoming transfer market. For Milan, his breakthrough is a resounding success, while for Atlético, there remains the feeling of a missed opportunity.
