Manchester City sells Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders to Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah, bringing an end to his spell in the English club. BBC Sport reports the transfer is worth £52m, while other outlets cite a fee in the region of €61m (about $71m). The move is confirmed by City and Al Qadsiah via social media posts.
The transfer follows City’s broader activity in the market, with Yahoo Sports linking the sale to the club’s offseason reshaping of its midfield after Rodri’s departure to Barcelona. Yahoo also reports the Saudi club is owned by the state oil giant Aramco. Sources also describe Reijnders as 28 and note he played for the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup, with Al Qadsiah offering a reported five-year contract.
