There have been rumors that Tijjani Reijnders of AC Milan is being considered as a possible replacement for Aurelien Tchouameni by Real Madrid.

Reijnders is being considered by the club as a potential midfield acquisition after his impressive performance in the Champions League match against Real Madrid, according to Fichajes.

The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder’s outstanding passing range and attacking prowess have made him an important player for Milan this season.

His versatile skill set has piqued the interest of numerous elite European clubs, including as Manchester City, Barcelona, and Tottenham.

He is seen by Real Madrid as a potential replacement for Tchouameni in the event that the French international is sold soon.

Reijnders’ performances have not gone unnoticed by AC Milan either, as the club is reportedly keen to secure his long-term future.

To fend off interest from clubs like Real Madrid, Milan are preparing a renewal offer that could see Reijnders’ salary rise to €3 million per year, with an extension to his contract until 2030.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s interest in Reijnders aligns with their strategy to strengthen their midfield. The club aims to maintain a mix of youthful energy and experienced players in this crucial area of the pitch, and Reijnders’ versatility and vision could fit well into this model.

However, Milan have set a hefty price tag of around €60 million for their prized midfielder, a fee that reflects his growing reputation in the football world.

As the transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid or other interested clubs are willing to meet Milan’s valuation and compete for Reijnders’ signature.

The coming months could determine whether the Dutch midfielder makes a move to Spain or commits to a long-term future with AC Milan.
