LIVE – How much would AC Milan earn from the (alleged) sale of Reijnders from City to Al Qadsiah?

Tijani Reijnders is once again at the center of transfer rumors: speculation is circulating about a transfer from Manchester City to Al Qadsiah for around €60 million. If the deal goes through, the key issue for AC Milan would not be the gross fee, but rather the clauses attached to the sale that the Rossoneri club included in the 2025 summer deal with City.

AC Milan's financial statements show that the fixed amount paid by City for Reijnders was approximately €54,9 million and that the sale generated a capital gain of approximately €41,9 million in the 2024/25 financial year. The transfer was expected to include total bonuses of approximately €13–14 million tied to team and personal objectives (Champions League, Premier League, Ballon d'Or, etc.). The circulating reconstruction also claims that the contract between the clubs included a clause that would immediately accrue the entire remaining €14 million to AC Milan if City sold the player before 2030.

But be careful: the €60 million City-Al Qadsiah transfer has not been confirmed by official sources and—even more importantly—the bonus "acceleration" clause, as described in rumors, is not documented in public financial statements or in the most reliable journalistic reports. In practice, the fixed component of ~€54,9 million and the capital gain of ~€41,9 million are data verified by the 2024/25 financial statements, while the subsequent step and the resulting immediate payment of the €14 million remain unreported for now.

Therefore, if negotiations with Al Qadsiah materialize and contractual evidence of the clause emerges, AC Milan's 2026/27 financial statements could see an immediate cash flow under the heading "other player management income." For now, the advice is to treat this as a rumor: we'll follow developments and await official confirmation regarding the transfer and contractual clauses.
