Reijnders explained that Manchester City's interest in him was clear from the end of the previous season. His father was contacted by the club, and they expressed a need for a midfielder who could play in various positions, which Reijnders felt was a good fit for his skills.

Reijnders mentioned that choosing to leave AC Milan was not a difficult decision for him. Although he had enjoyed his time in Milan and appreciated the friendships he made, he also considered the sporting aspect of his career.

He felt that Manchester City offered him a better opportunity to achieve his goals and progress in his career. Reijnders is excited about the prospect of working with Pep Guardiola, who he considers one of the best coaches in the world.

Reijnders described himself as a box-to-box player who likes to carry the ball and be involved in both the build-up and attacking phases of the game. He hopes to bring this style of play to Manchester City and contribute to the team's success.
