Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of Tijjani Reijnders on a five-year deal.
The 26-year-old Netherlands international joins from AC Milan, where he has spent the last two seasons.
An energetic yet classy operator capable of playing in an attacking or defensive role, Reijnders was named Serie A’s Best Midfielder in 2024/25.
That accolade came after netting 15 goals in 54 games, more than doubling his previous best tally in a single campaign.
Whether it’s picking out a pass, bursting into space or shooting from range, Reijnders has demonstrated an exceptional all-round game in one of Europe’s toughest leagues.
Before moving to Milan, he made his professional debut at PEC Zwolle in his homeland ahead of becoming a regular at AZ Alkmaar.
Since first truly making his mark at AZ in 2020/21, Reijnders has amassed extensive experience at both club and international level.
After making his senior Netherlands debut in 2023, he played all six games at Euro 2024 as his nation reached the semi-finals.
He is now available for selection at this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup in the USA.

Speaking fluent English, Reijnders was enthusiastic about the prospect of what he can achieve with City.
“I am ecstatic to be signing for Manchester City. City are one of the biggest teams in the world, with the best coach, world-class players and outstanding facilities.
Under Pep Guardiola, City have won so many titles, and I want to help keep that going with a lot more success in the coming years.
It is also a dream come true to play in the Premier League. This league has seen many of the best Dutch players perform through the years and it’s an inspiration to follow in their footsteps.
I am really looking forward to getting going, meeting the other players and showing the Manchester City fans what I can do.”
Now, the 26-year-old will be looking to go that one step further and lift the biggest trophies in the club game with City.
