Arsenal They are reportedly planning to make a move to sign AC Milan star Tijjani Reijnders, according to a Spanish outlet. Transfers.
After joining the Rossoneri from AZ Alkmaar last year, the Dutchman has established himself as a key figure for the Italian club in recent times. He has scored three goals in four appearances in the champions league this season.
He even helped his team win real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium putting his name on the scoresheet and Milan ended up winning the match 3-1.
Following his recent eye-catching performances for the seven-time European champions, the 26-year-old has secured a place in Ronald Koeman's Netherlands starting XI.
Now, Transfers He claims that, impressed by Reijnders' performances, Arsenal have expressed interest in signing him and plan to make a concrete proposal next summer.
Furthermore, the report says Mikel Arteta He is 'in love' with Reijnders but Milan has no intention of letting their star go. The midfielder has a contract until 2028 with Paulo Fonseca's team and is valued at around £25 million per Transfer market.
Reijnders to Arsenal
The north London club will therefore have to offer a lucrative proposal to convince the Italian giant to sell the Dutch international.
Reijnders can be deployed in the holding midfield position, in the box-to-box role and as an attacking midfielder. He has 92% passing accuracy and 76% long passing accuracy in Serie A this season.
Thomas Partey and Jorginho have entered the final months of their respective contracts with Arsenal. The Ghanaian has played a key role in Arteta's first eleven, so it remains to be seen whether the Gunners offer him a new contract or not.
But the Italian has found himself completely out of favor this season, so it seems unlikely that Arsenal will offer him a contract extension. Therefore, if he leaves the club they will have to sign a suitable replacement for him.
Reijnders is currently in the prime of his career, so he would be a smart acquisition for the Gunners if they buy him. However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club finally make a concrete decision to sign him.
