AC Milan, this afternoon, have set the price for Tijjani Reijnders’ transfer, and fans may want to look away…
Signing a player like Reijnders for what Milan did was phenomenal business. However, the good work can come undone just as quickly if he is not sold for the correct value. Considering the midfielder is one of the best in Europe, a fee respective of that should be requested.
It seems that the Rossoneri may be underselling him slightly though, as Dutch news outlet Telegraaf (via Milan Posts on X) report that Manchester City will only have to cough up a little more than anticipated to bring him this summer – as he is being valued at €70m.
Of course, this is a lot of money and it would be a record fee for the Diavolo. However, with the market’s current state, it feels backwards to accept this little of a figure for a player (and more importantly profile) like Reijnders.
Considering much of the fanbase believes that the Dutchman should be a pillar of the future, especially after signing a long-term contract, there are bound to be some left disappointed with this.
However, we must remember that the club found the midfielder for a budget price after selling Tonali, which may thought to be a mistake at the time. We will have to see in time how the club reinvest the funds, but it wouldn’t be unreasonable to be a little nervous.
