Tijjani Reijnders on the brink of leaving Man City in £50m deal just a year after joining

Manchester City are in talks with Al Qadsiah to sell Tijjani Reijnders to the Saudi Arabian club. The Netherlands international might leave the Etihad Stadium after just a year as City’s midfield overhaul to being the Enzo Maresca era looks set to continue. Reijnders, who had also attracted interest from Nottingham Forest, could command a fee of around £50m from Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah, who are coached by former Liverpool, Leicester and Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers .

But he lost his place in the starting XI as the 2025/26 season wore on, with former manager Pep Guardiola preferring to pair captain Bernardo Silva with Rodri. And while Silva is gone and Rodri, who is a target for Barcelona , could follow, City have signed Elliot Anderson from Forest for £116m. They are also interested in other midfielders, including Morocco’s Ayyoub Bouaddi and Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez , and could allow Reijnders to leave.
