‘One of my biggest dreams come true’ – Reijnders explains ‘joy and pride’ of playing for Milan

Tijjani Reijnders has spoken about his love for being an AC Milan player, as well as some of his favourite moments at the club and the brilliant season he is having.

Reijnders has been nothing short of sensational for Milan since his arrival from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2023, and he has accelerated this season given he has nine goals to his name already.

Not only that, but widespread recent reports have stated that Reijnders is on the verge of extending his contract. The new agreement for Reijnders will run until 2029 with a substantial salary adjustment that will go from the current €1.7m to €3.5m net per season, plus bonuses.

It is a fitting reward for the Dutchman who will more than double what he is currently getting, though it is not currently clear when it will be announced. What it will hopefully do is ward off interest from clubs like Real Madrid.

Reijnders gave an interview to Rivista Undici and Cronache di Spogliatoio and he spoke about a number of topics, from his excellent form to what it means to wear the red and black shirt.

You are the top scorer this season with nine goals…

“Last year I also had several chances, but I lacked composure in front of goal. Now the goals are coming, I hope to continue like this until the end of the season. It’s a very positive moment for me, but I try not to listen to what is said on the outside, I think about staying focused on what I have to do.”
