Manchester City and Saudi Pro League club Al Qadsiah have reached a verbal agreement for the transfer of Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, with the deal valued at €61 million. The move, agreed upon on August 13, 2026, now hinges on whether Reijnders himself wants to make the switch to the Middle East.

If completed, City would pocket a tidy profit on a player they signed just over a year ago from AC Milan for approximately £46.3 million, or roughly €55 million.

A productive but complicated year at the Etihad

Reijnders arrived at Manchester City in June 2025, joining as part of a midfield refresh at the Etihad Stadium. His first season in England was, by most measures, a successful one. He racked up around 50 appearances across all competitions, contributing 7 goals and 8 assists.

Those numbers helped City secure both the FA Cup and EFL Cup during the 2025/26 campaign.
