Despite the fact that the FC Barcelona midfield is more than covered with the 'irruptions' of Marc Casadó and Marc Bernal, from Italy they have been pointing out for a couple of weeks that the culés would be on the trail of Tijjani Reijnders. The Dutchman is being one of the most outstanding footballers of Milan, so his name has been linked to the Barça entity as a possible reinforcement for the midfield.
The midfielder, who was on the radar of the Catalans a couple of summers ago as a possible replacement for Sergio Busquets, is being key in the season of the 'rossoneri' team, so they are already working on improving his contract, which expires in June 2028.
Reijnders' father confirms negotiations with Milan
This was confirmed by the player's father after the double that he scored against Bruges in the Champions League. "What a week for Tijjani! Unjustified red card against Udinese! Yesterday Man of the Match with two goals against Club Brugge, and as icing on the cake we are in negotiations with Milan for a new contract! That's how fast things can go in football!" wrote Tijjani's father on his social networks.
In this way, Reijnders' intentions regarding his future are clear and he definitively distances himself from the rumours that link him to Barça. The idea of the Milan team would be to extend his contract for two more years and improve his contract, with the aim of 'shielding' him from the interest of the continent's big clubs and ensuring the continuity of a player who, at 26 years old, is beginning to establish himself as one of the best in his position.
