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.

The former AZ Alkmaar star scored a brace to help his side cruise past Empoli in Serie A last weekend, extending his seasonal goal tally to six nets from 17 games across all competitions.
