Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is poised to conclude his transfer to Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League. The Dutch international, currently 28 years old, is expected to join the Khobar-based club for a reported fee of £52 million. City signed Reijners from AC Milan last summer, but he has yet to make a significant impact in Pep Guardiola's final season at the club.
Reijnders made seven goals in 47 appearances, helping City win the League Cup and FA Cup, but the team finished second in the Premier League. He has been training separately from the main squad under new coach Enzo Maresca ahead of the potential move. Al Qadsiah made a strong push for the Saudi Pro League title last season but finished fourth.
This move would be the Saudi Pro League's second major acquisition from the Premier League this transfer window, following Al Hilal's signing of Crysencio Summerville for €64.5 million. The Saudi Pro League transfer window closes on September 6.
