Man City sign Tijjani Reijnders, Cherki

Manchester City have announced the signing of Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan on a five-year deal for a reported fee of £46.3 million ($62.4 million).

City announced the signing via a statement on Wednesday.

The Dutch midfielder, City’s fourth signing of the week, said he was “ecstatic” to be signing for Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Premier League club announced deals for midfielder Rayan Cherki from Lyon and Chelsea’s third-choice goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli on Tuesday, while left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri joined from Wolves on Monday.

Cherki, 21, joins a new-look City, seeking to bounce back after a dismal trophyless season for Guardiola’s men, for a fee of 36.5 million euros ($41 million, £30.3 million) plus an extra six million euros in add-ons.

Reijnders, 26, joined AC Milan from AZ Alkmaar in 2023 and scored 15 goals for the Italian club in 2024/25.

He will bolster Guardiola’s midfield options following the departure of Kevin De Bruyne.

Reijnders said: “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.”
