Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Tijjani Reijnders from Italian side AC Milan for a reported fee of £46.3 million.
The Dutchman is City’s fourth signing in this week, and put pen to a five-year contract.
Pep Guardiola’s side have previously announced deals for Rayan Cherki from Lyon, Marcus Bettinelli as third-choice goalkeeper from Chelsea and Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves.
Reijnders, who scored 15 goals for Milan in the 2024-25 campaign, joins to the Man City midfield following the exit of Kevin De Bruyne.
“I am ecstatic to be signing for Manchester City,” said Reijnders.
“City are one of the biggest teams in the world, with the best coach, world-class players and outstanding facilities.”
Following four successive Premier League titles, City finished a distant third last season and exited the Champions League early.
City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak admitted the club “probably should have been more aggressive” in the transfer market ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
The club’s latest transfer activity continues an overhaul of the squad that began with the January signings of Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.
City’s director of football Hugo Viana also shared his elation with the signing of Reijnders.
“We are very happy that Tijjani has joined us and we’re excited for him to join Pep’s squad.
“He arrives here with extensive top-level experience in Europe, both at club level as well as on the international stage with the Netherlands.
“Tijjani adds extra energy, composure and creativity to our midfield and working with Pep and our coaches will only see him go from strength to strength.”
