Reijnders explained that City contacted his father at the end of the season, looking for a midfielder who could play as a Number 8. He felt it was not a difficult decision to join City, as it is one of the biggest clubs in the world today.

Although Reijnders had two successful seasons at Milan and appreciated the people he met there, he prioritized the sporting aspect of his career. He believes that playing for City will help him achieve his goals more quickly.

Reijnders is excited about the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola, one of the world's best coaches. He is looking forward to learning new things and adapting to City's playing style.

As a box-to-box midfielder, Reijnders wants to bring his skills to City, including carrying the ball, participating in build-up play, and creating scoring opportunities.
