Barcelona Eye €50m Move for AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders Amid De Jong Contract Uncertainty

Barcelona have set their sights on AC Milan’s star midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, with a potential €50m transfer on the horizon, according to El Nacional. The move, however, hinges on the contract situation of Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, whose future at the club remains uncertain. If de Jong fails to sign a new deal, the Catalan giants are prepared to swoop for the 26-year-old Dutch midfielder, who has impressed in Serie A since joining Milan in 2023.

Reijnders, known for his composure, passing accuracy, and defensive contributions, has also attracted interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea, with reports of a possible “astronomical offer” from the Gunners. Despite this, Barcelona see him as a perfect fit for their midfield rebuild. However, AC Milan are unlikely to let their prized asset go easily, with some sources suggesting a minimum €65m valuation.

The transfer rumor has sparked debate among fans, with some questioning the credibility of the report, while others praise Reijnders’ versatility. As the summer window approaches, all eyes will be on de Jong’s decision, which could trigger a major transfer domino effect in European football.
