Man City's Reijnders set for £52m Saudi move
Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is set to leave following a year at the club after a £52m move was agreed with Saudi Pro-League side Al-Qadsiah.
Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is on the verge of joining Saudi Pro-League club Al-Qadsiah in a £52 million transfer. The Dutch international, who arrived at City for £46.5 million from AC Milan last summer, had a promising start to his career but failed to make a significant impact under Pep Guardiola, scoring seven goals in 47 appearances.
Reijnders, 28, trained separately from City's main squad on Thursday, preparing for a potential move to the Saudi club, which will be managed by former Liverpool, Celtic, and Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers. The move appears to be part of a major overhaul of City's midfield, with uncertainty surrounding the future of Rodri, who was World Cup player of the tournament, and interest in Chelsea's Argentina international Enzo Fernandez.
Reijnders represented the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup, making three appearances in group games against Japan, Sweden, and Tunisia, but was substituted during the last 32 tie against Morocco, which ended in a penalty loss.
