According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Reijnders is close to joining Hubai Koudsia. If he is sold this summer, Manchester City will still have to pay Milan the full bonus.

Last summer, Reijnders left Milan to join Manchester City. This transfer not only brought Milan a considerable book income but also left fans reluctant. Many believed Milan could have sold him for more. After an adaptation period last season at Milan, Reijnders' form significantly improved last year, which is why he attracted attention from several top European clubs. Pioli often called him "Tigi" at the time, and a year later, he may still bring profit to Milan: this contract includes a €14 million bonus, which happens to alleviate Milan's financial needs.

Timing

This money will only be available if he transfers from Manchester to Saudi Arabia to join Al-Qadisiyah, with a rumored transfer fee of approximately €60 million; Nottingham Forest is also a destination that cannot be ignored. However, for Milan, the final destination is not important; the key is when the transfer happens. Where do the potential benefits come from? It's simple: when Reijnders joined Manchester City, in addition to a fixed transfer fee of about €55 million, there were multiple bonus clauses, some of which were easier to trigger, such as qualifying for the Champions League; others were more difficult, such as winning a trophy or the Ballon d'Or, totaling €14 million. There is also an additional clause in the contract: if the player is permanently sold this year, Manchester City must pay all these bonuses to Milan, regardless of whether the conditions are met.

Support

It is precisely for this reason that Aldo-Rossi Street has been eagerly awaiting the formation of Reijnders' transfer these days. Considering that part of Milan's expected sales revenue has not yet arrived, this income is particularly important for the club. However, in the eyes of fans, they will still be reluctant to part with this Dutch player; if he were to play as an attacking midfielder in Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system, the picture would actually not be difficult to accept.
