Tijjani Reijnders leaves Manchester City for Al Qadsiah

Why it matters

The departure of Tijjani Reijnders to Al Qadsiah marks a turning point for Manchester City, who invested in the player without obtaining the expected results. This transfer, which generates a profit for the club, highlights the challenges of adapting for players in the Premier League, where competition is fierce. City's decision to let him leave could also open the way for new signings to strengthen their midfield.

Context

Tijjani Reijnders, after transferring from AC Milan to Manchester City, has failed to establish himself in the Premier League midfield. His move to Al Qadsiah represents a new opportunity for the Dutch player, who will look to bounce back in a different championship.

Key points

• Tijjani Reijnders leaves Manchester City for Al Qadsiah.
• After a disappointing season at Manchester City, Tijjani Reijnders will sign for Al Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia.
• An elegant midfielder looks to be on his way out of Manchester City - Yahoo Sports.

Relief has come quickly for Manchester City and Tijjani Reijnders over the Dutch midfielder's future. According to information revealed by David Ornstein for The Athletic, negotiations between Manchester City and the Saudi club Al Qadsiah very quickly led to an agreement. Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news, specifying that Reijnders has agreed to join Al Qadsiah, a club based in Saudi Arabia, where he will join shortly.

The transfer is estimated to be worth €61 million, or around £52.1 million. This amount represents an interesting profit for Manchester City, who bought Reijnders from AC Milan for 46.5 million pounds. The English club has also taken steps to recruit a new midfielder to strengthen the team led by Enzo Maresca. Reijnders' departure comes even though he has never really established himself within the Mancunian squad.

Indeed, despite his promising debut in the Premier League during the previous season, notably when he came on against Wolverhampton, Reijnders' adaptation to the physicality and pace of the English championship proved difficult. Quickly sidelined, the player saw his playing time reduced, becoming a marginal element in the rotation of the group led by Pep Guardiola. At the end of the season, he did not train with his teammates, a sign that his departure was imminent.

For Reijnders, this transfer is an opportunity to relaunch his career while benefiting from a financially advantageous contract. For Manchester City, this transaction reflects skillful management in the transfer market, with the sale generating a substantial net profit. The English club continues to refine its squad with a view to future challenges, notably the Champions League, and could soon announce the arrival of a new attacking or midfield player.

Tijjani Reijnders' transfer to Al Qadsiah therefore marks an important step for the 25-year-old, who leaves the Premier League without having fully confirmed his potential. It is also a commercial victory for Manchester City, who knew how to take advantage of a situation that seemed difficult. This departure sounds like a godsend for all parties concerned.

The rest

With the transfer of Reijnders, Manchester City are now focusing on recruiting a new midfielder to complete their squad. The club, under the leadership of Enzo Maresca, is looking for a player capable of quickly establishing themselves in the championship. Meanwhile, Reijnders is preparing to begin a new adventure in Saudi Arabia with Al Qadsiah, where he hopes to regain playing time and a key role.
