Overview
- Manchester City confirmed on Wednesday that Tijjani Reijnders has completed a permanent transfer to Saudi Pro League club Al Qadsiah for a reported fee of about €61 million.
- Reijnders has signed a five‑year contract reported to run until 2031 with media estimates suggesting his salary could exceed €100 million over the deal's term.
- The midfielder made roughly 50 appearances for City last season, scored seven goals, and left after falling out of regular first‑team selection late in the campaign.
- A clause from City’s purchase of Reijnders from AC Milan requires City to pay Milan outstanding add‑ons on a quick resale, lifting Milan’s total receipts to nearly €70 million.
- Al Qadsiah, backed by Saudi state resources and managed by Brendan Rodgers, say Reijnders could be available for selection once his international registration is completed, and City will use the sale to press on with further midfield recruitment.
