Tijjani Reijnders leaves Man City for Saudi football

Tijjani Reijnders has completed a £52m move from Manchester City to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah.

The 28-year-old midfielder leaves City just one year after joining from AC Milan for £46.5m. He made 50 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring seven goals and helping the club win both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

Reijnders also featured for the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup, starting all three group-stage matches before being left on the bench for their last-32 defeat by Morocco.

His departure continues a period of major change at Manchester City following Pep Guardiola's exit. Rodri has joined Barcelona, while Bernardo Silva left after his contract expired.

Reijnders will join an Al-Qadsiah side managed by Brendan Rodgers. The Saudi club finished fourth in the Saudi Pro League in each of the past two seasons.
