AZ Alkmaar technical director Max Huiberts admits Tijjani Reijnders is joining AC Milan.
The Holland midfielder is set to join Milan for €20m.
Huiberts told Noordhollands Dagblad: “The feeling seems much more positive now, yes. He has our permission to talk to Milan. If he hasn't already.
"It's not over yet, but Reijnders is going.
“Milan are showing that they really want him. The last conversation with Milan was a good conversation, now we are close."
