Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is reportedly on the verge of a transfer to Saudi Pro-League side Al-Qadsiah in a deal valued at £52 million. The agreement for the Dutch international follows a single season at the Etihad Stadium, where he joined from AC Milan for £46.5 million last summer.
Reijnders began his tenure at City with a promising start, but his impact lessened as the season progressed. He scored seven goals in 47 appearances during what was Pep Guardiola's final season as manager.
On Thursday, the 28-year-old trained separately from the main Manchester City squad, indicating an imminent move. Al-Qadsiah is managed by former Liverpool, Celtic, and Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers. Reijnders' departure signals a potential significant restructuring of Manchester City's midfield. There is ongoing speculation surrounding the future of World Cup Player of the Tournament Rodri and reported interest in Chelsea's Argentine international Enzo Fernández.
Reijnders was part of the Netherlands squad for the 2026 World Cup, where he made three appearances. He featured in group stage matches against Japan, Sweden, and Tunisia but did not play in the Round of 32 match against Morocco, which the Dutch team lost on penalties.
