Tillman targeted by Milan as Reijnders ready for Manchester City | OneFootball

With Tijjani Reijnders set to undergo his Manchester City medical tomorrow, Milan are reportedly turning towards PSV Eindhoven and USMNT midfielder Malik Tillman as his replacement.

Even Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman confirmed in a press conference that Reijnders would be flying out from international duty to have his tests with Manchester City on Sunday, so the deal is effectively done for a reported €75m including add-ons.

Now the Rossoneri need to find a suitable replacement, quite apart from the deal with free agent Luka Modric.

According to MilanPress.it, the latest candidate is also from Dutch football, specifically Tillman of PSV Eindhoven.

He just turned 23 last month and is a product of the Bayern Munich youth academy, also playing for Glasgow Rangers before the move to PSV for a total €13m.

Despite being born and raised in Germany, he is a US citizen and has 17 caps for the USMNT, so would be reuniting at San Siro with both Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah.

The asking price is believed to be €25-30m, although there is also competition for Tillman from Roma and Bayer Leverkusen.
