Manchester City has finalized an agreement with Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah for the transfer of midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. The Netherlands international joined City only a year ago from AC Milan for £46.5 million, signing a contract until 2030. His departure follows speculation surrounding his future, particularly after the arrival of Elliot Anderson. Reijnders, who was Serie A's midfielder of the year, made 47 appearances for City, scoring five goals and assisting two, but started only half of their Premier League matches.

Al Qadsiah is actively strengthening its squad ahead of moving into the new Aramco Stadium, which will host the 2027 Asian Cup. Meanwhile, Manchester City faces further midfield changes, with Rodri's future uncertain due to Barcelona's interest, and Bernardo Silva having already joined Real Madrid. City is also pursuing Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez, with new head coach Enzo Maresca having previously worked with the Argentina international. Chelsea has set a deadline for City's offer.
