Dutch footballer Tijjani Reijnders recently signed a contract with the Saudi Pro League, signing with Al Qadsiah for a reported £51 million and a four-year deal worth approximately €100 million. The 28-year-old explained that the primary factor in his decision was the opportunity to secure a financial future for his family and grandchildren.
Reijnders spoke candidly at a media event, revealing that his career at Manchester City left him with little desire to work post-retirement. While the lucrative contract was a driving force behind his move, he also expressed frustration with his position at the Etihad Stadium, having been allocated to an advanced central role rather than his preferred box-to-box playing style.
Reijnders believes the Saudi Pro League's standard is higher than the Dutch Eredivisie and encourages others to watch games to form their own opinions.
