Manchester City Star Set to Sign for Ex-Liverpool Boss in Saudi Pro League: Report

Al Qadsiah are close to a €51.3 million deal for Tijjani Reijnders, but the midfielder must still approve the move, The Athletic reports.

  • Saudi club Al Qadsiah are in "advanced transfer talks" with Manchester City to sign Tijjani Reijnders, with an agreement appearing close for the Netherlands international to depart the Etihad Stadium.
  • Reijnders joined City last summer from Milan for £46.4m but struggled to make an impact. The 28-year-old made 47 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals and registering two assists, while starting only half of his Premier League fixtures.
  • Club sources indicate a deal worth around £60m is nearing completion, though the move depends on the Dutch midfielder providing the necessary green light to finalize the transfer to Saudi Arabia.
  • Nottingham Forest remains interested in the midfielder as a replacement for Elliot Anderson, who departed for City in a deal worth £116m. Forest's pursuit now hinges entirely on Reijnders' decision.
  • Reijnders' potential exit continues significant squad changes under new manager Enzo Maresca. His departure would follow exits of experienced players Bernardo Silva and John Stones, while Rodri has also been linked away.
