Tijjani Reijnders is reportedly close to leaving Manchester City just one year after arriving from AC Milan, with Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah emerging as the leading destination. Manchester City and Al Qadsiah have reached an agreement in principle over a transfer worth €61 million, although the move still depends on the final decision and completion of negotiations involving the player.

The Dutch midfielder has attracted interest from several European clubs, including Nottingham Forest, Galatasaray, and Juventus. However, reports indicate that Reijnders has agreed to continue his career in Saudi Arabia, where he could work under former Liverpool manager Rodgers. A move to Al Qadsiah would represent a major change after only one season in England, despite the midfielder making an impressive start at the Etihad Stadium following his £46.5 million transfer from AC Milan.

Reijnders gradually lost his place in Manchester City's plans as the season progressed and became more of a rotational option. Under the new coaching setup, he is reportedly no longer considered a central figure in the midfield, while the club's hierarchy has instructed sporting director Hugo Viana to strengthen that area of the squad. His potential departure could therefore provide City with significant financial flexibility while allowing the club to reshape its midfield according to the manager's plans.

Manchester City's midfield situation could become even more complicated with Rodri attracting interest from Barcelona. The Spanish club have reportedly had two offers rejected, with the latest worth €60 million falling short of City's €80 million valuation. If Rodri eventually leaves, Enzo Fernandez could emerge as a possible replacement, particularly given the familiarity between the Argentine midfielder and the current coaching setup. For now, Reijnders remains at the center of City's midfield overhaul as Al Qadsiah push to complete a €61 million deal.
