Reijnders set to extend Milan contract amid Premier League and Barcelona interest | OneFootball

Tijjani Reijnders’ moment of brilliant form is persuading Milan to accelerate contract extension talks to close the doors to potential suitors and the latest reports suggest they are now on the verge of striking a deal to keep the 26-year-old at the San Siro.

The Netherlands international has been discussing the terms of his new contract with the club throughout the last few months, but some details are still missing before the renewal can be officially announced.

Reijnders ready to extend Milan contract despite interest from Premier League and Barcelona

However, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri are more than confident that such a moment will come soon, as the Dutch midfielder has settled in perfectly in Milan and doesn’t want to listen to offers from his admirers, including Premier League sides and Barcelona.

The Diavolo will probably make Reijnders’ contract extension official in 2025, by almost doubling his current seasonal €1.7m in a new deal worth more than €3m per season and that should run until 2030.
