Al-Qadsiah have made a rapid attempt to sign Manchester City‘s Tijjani Reijnders this summer. The Netherlands international arrived at the Etihad from AC Milan in July 2025. He had a good start to his Manchester City career before losing prominence in the second half of last season.

Yağız Sabuncuoğlu shared another post on X on Thursday, to report that Manchester City and the Saudi Arabian club have reached an agreement. The two clubs are now waiting for the 28-year-old’s decision to finalise the operation. The Dutchman has a contract until 2030 but is unlikely to have a prominent role. The English club have already signed Elliot Anderson and have made concrete advances to sign Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi.
