CorSport: Milan looking to ‘protect’ Reijnders as he becomes ‘indispensable’ | OneFootball

Tijjani Reijnders’ class shone on Tuesday night and if AC Milan were not already moving quickly to extend his contract, they are now.

There are few challenges more difficult than a Champions League clash at the Bernabeu, but Milan rose to it excellently. As a team, they were fantastic, and they were powered by individual brilliance from their stars.

At the top of that list, perhaps, was Reijnders – a regular theme of this season. The Dutchman rose to the test of the Bernabeu fantastically, and he proved himself indispensable once again. For this reason, as Corriere dello Sport (via Milan News) writes, the Rossoneri have no intention of depriving themselves of him, so are looking to armour him shortly.

Since last season, he has improved heavily, becoming incisive in front of goals and raising his general level of performance – which has begun to attract some of the biggest clubs in European football, but the Diavolo have confidence.

Movement has already been made to secure the Dutchman, and the club are getting ready to ‘protect’ their asset with a new contract until 2030. The intention is clear – to not lose Reijnders – and with the player’s entourage appreciating this, an extension could occur shortly.
