Reijnders will undergo a medical with Manchester City on Sunday after finalising a €55 million Deal with the Premier League Giant. Here is how much he will earn at Manchester City
Manchester City are closing in on the signing of Tijjani Reijnders, with the Dutch international scheduled to undergo his medical on Sunday after finalising a €55 million transfer deal. The move, which has been in advanced stages over the past week, marks another statement signing for City as they continue to strengthen under Pep Guardiola.
Club Confirms Deal in Press Briefing
At Saturday afternoon’s pre-match press conference, City’s sporting director addressed the situation directly, confirming that the club had reached a full agreement with both AC Milan and the player’s representatives.
> “We’re pleased to confirm that an agreement has been reached for Tijjani Reijnders. He will be in Manchester on Sunday for his medical examinations. We’ve been following him for a long time, and we believe he’s a player who will add enormous quality to our midfield.”
Reijnders’ Salary Package at Manchester City
Alongside confirmation of the deal, details of Reijnders’ salary package have also emerged. The 25-year-old is set to sign a five-year contract with Manchester City, earning around £165,000 per week. This marks a significant increase from his current deal in Italy and positions him comfortably among City’s established first-team earners.
A senior club source added:
> “We value what Tijjani brings on and off the pitch. His technical ability, intelligence, and versatility fit perfectly with the way we play football here. The financial package reflects our belief in his potential contribution over the coming seasons.”
Guardiola Praises the Incoming Midfielder
Pep Guardiola, who briefly addressed transfer business during the press conference, praised Reijnders without explicitly confirming the deal’s completion.
> “He’s an excellent player — intelligent, quick-thinking, and very comfortable with the ball. I always admire players who can adapt to different positions and different styles of play, and he’s shown that in both the Dutch league and in Serie A.”
City’s manager went on to suggest that Reijnders would add much-needed depth and tactical flexibility as the club competes on multiple fronts next season.
What’s Next?
Reijnders is expected to arrive in Manchester late Saturday night before undergoing a full medical on Sunday morning. Assuming no complications, the Dutchman will be officially unveiled as a Manchester City player early next week and could join pre-season preparations later this month.
His signing represents Manchester City’s second major deal of the summer, with further reinforcements expected as Guardiola looks to refresh his squad following another successful domestic campaign.
Conclusion
With Tijjani Reijnders set to wear sky blue next season, City’s midfield options will become even more formidable. The fans have already expressed excitement over the signing, eager to see how the talented Dutchman will integrate into Guardiola’s system.
