Tijjani Reijnders, a Dutch midfielder, has transferred from Manchester City to Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia for a fee of £52 million. The 28-year-old joined City from AC Milan in a £46.5 million deal the previous summer, but had difficulty making an impact at the club. During his time at City, Reijnders played 50 matches in all competitions, scoring seven goals and helping the team win the FA Cup and Carabao Cup under manager Pep Guardiola.
He also started all three of the Netherlands' group matches at the 2026 World Cup but was a bench replacement in their elimination match against Morocco.
Reijnders expressed his gratitude for his time at Manchester City, stating that he felt welcomed and became a part of the Manchester City family. He also thanked the club's fans for their warm support. City's new manager, Enzo Maresca, excluded Reijnders from his squad for the team's 3-0 Community Shield loss to Arsenal. Reijnders has reportedly signed a five-year contract with Al-Qadsiah, who are currently managed by former Liverpool and Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.
