AC Milan Eyes Malik Tillman as Budget-Friendly Replacement for Reijnders
AC Milan is preparing to part ways with midfield mainstay Tijjani Reijnders, who is on the verge of completing a high-profile move to Manchester City. The Dutch international is set to undergo medical checks ahead of a transfer reportedly worth €75 million, including bonuses. Reijnders’ departure will leave a significant gap in Milan's midfield, prompting the club to search for a suitable replacement.
In response, Milan has identified Malik Tillman as a promising candidate to fill the void. The 23-year-old American midfielder currently plays for PSV Eindhoven, where he has flourished since making his initial loan move from Bayern Munich permanent. Tillman’s current market value is estimated at €32 million, making him a relatively economical option compared to the hefty fee received for Reijnders.
Tillman's impact at PSV has been substantial, contributing to back-to-back Eredivisie titles over the past two seasons. With a tally of 25 goals and 19 assists in 73 appearances, his offensive output from midfield has been a key part of the club’s domestic dominance. His blend of creativity, versatility, and goal-scoring ability makes him a strong fit for Milan’s evolving tactical needs.
While his market value is modest compared to the extravagant price tags often seen in football transfers, Tillman's on-field influence has proven to be far more valuable. Milan sees his arrival as a strategic investment—bringing in a rising talent with proven success at a high level, and at a cost significantly lower than what was earned from Reijnders' exit.
