Tijjani Reijnders has just joined Manchester City, but says he’ll forever be a Milan fan: ‘Playing at San Siro was a dream.’

The Dutch midfielder joined Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City on a permanent transfer from Milan.

The two clubs and the players confirmed the move on Wednesday.

One day after the official announcement, Reijnders reached out to his ex-club and fans through social media.

“Playing at San Siro was a dream. From now on, I’ll bring Milan in my heart, and I’ll forever be a Rossonero,” the Netherlands international wrote on Instagram and X, formerly Twitter.

Reijnders joined Milan from AZ Alkmaar for €20.5m in 2023.

He was the second-best Rossoneri scorer in 2024-25 with 15 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions.

Reijnders was also named the Best Serie A midfielder this past season, but it was still not enough to help the Rossoneri secure a European spot.

Reijnders will be available for Manchester City in the Club World Cup, where the Premier League giants will face Juventus in the group phase.

Reijnders has signed a contract until 2030 at the Etihad Stadium.
