Distinctive numbers with Milan
Renders presented an exceptional season in the Milan shirt, despite the technical crises that stormed the Italian team, where he played 54 games in all competitions, during which he scored 15 goals, a number that goes beyond everything he achieved in the previous seasons combined, which qualified him to win the title of best midfielder in the Italian league last season.
A promising international station
Since his first appearance with the Netherlands in 2023, Rinders himself proved an essential element in the squads, and participated in all the matches of his country in Euro 2024, where the semi -final team reached before going out against England, giving him additional confidence to a new challenge in England.
A strategic step before the Club World Cup
Manchester City confirmed in his official statement that Tijani Renders will be part of the list that will go to the United States to participate in the World Cup 2025 clubs, as part of a strong group that includes Moroccan Wydad, Al Ain Emirati, and Juventus.
The club explained that the 26 -year -old will enhance the team’s capabilities to pass, exploit spaces, and pay off from outside the region, in addition to his pivotal role in offensive construction.
