Departs City for Saudi move Reijnders has left Manchester City to join Al Qadsiah on a permanent deal, the club annonuced,

Impact Reijnders arrived at City from AC Milan last summer and got off to a memorable start, scoring on his Premier League debut in a 4-0 win at Wolves and helping the club win both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup in 2025-26. His playing time tapered off as the season progressed, though, and he finishes his City stint with 50 appearances and seven goals across all competitions. With City's midfield picture shifting under Enzo Maresca, Reijnders no longer looked part of the long-term plan, prompting the move to Saudi Arabia.

Manchester City closing in on agreement to sell 28-year-old midfielder to Saudi Pro League club: Reports Manchester City are close to an agreement with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Qadsiah for the transfer of midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, as per reports.

AUGUST 13 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Absent amid transfer talks Reijnders was present at Manchester City's open training but did not participate, with the situation thought to be related to ongoing transfer talks, according to Sam Lee.

Impact Reijnders doesn't appear to figure prominently into new coach Enzo Maresca's plans given the crowded midfield picture, and this absence adds to that uncertainty. He contributed five goals and two assists across 28 Premier League appearances last season, including 19 starts, but now appears unlikely to be available for Sunday's Community Shield against Arsenal. His future is expected to become clearer in the coming days as the transfer situation develops.

Selling Rodri to Real Madrid would leave Enzo Maresca with a massive midfield problem at Man City

Back for preseason with Man City Reijnders is back for preseason with Manchester City after the World Cup with the Netherlands, the player posted on X.

Impact Reijnders finished the group stage strong for the Netherlands, contributing an assist along with three shots and seven crosses in the win over Tunisia, having delivered at least one cross and one corner in every group match of the tournament. His return to City training now shifts focus to preseason preparations, where the summer addition of Elliot Anderson could add fresh competition for his spot in midfield heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist in Tunisia tilt Reijnders assisted once to go with three shots (two on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Thursday's 3-1 win against Tunisia.

Impact Reijnders padded his stats thanks to a robust number of corner kicks and generated two of the goals in such a fashion, the first one following a flick-on, gathering a secondary assist, while the second one directly, finding Jan Paul van Hecke in the crowd. He came very close to scoring with a beautiful lob in the second half, but it hit the crossbar. He paced his side in crosses and chances created. He has tallied at least one delivery, amassing 15 (five accurate), and one corner, piling up 10, in all three fixtures, adding three shots (one two on target) and key passes.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Busy outing in midfield Reijnders generated one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 5-1 victory versus Sweden.

Impact Reijnders was active and industrious during his 59 minutes in Saturday's 5-1 win over Sweden, registering one shot, one corner, one cross and two aerial duel wins as the left-sided midfielder in coach Ronald Koeman's 4-3-3 before being replaced by Guus Til as the Netherlands managed the game in the second half. The midfielder contributed consistently in the pressing phases and was involved in multiple sequences that pushed Sweden back into their own half, and his delivery from dead-ball situations gave the Netherlands additional set-piece variety throughout the first period. His energy and technical quality from wide midfield positions make him an important rotation option heading into the knockout stage, and his ability to operate in tight spaces will be valuable against the deeper defensive blocks the Netherlands are likely to encounter from the round of 32 onwards.

JUNE 21 • ROTOWIRE

Set-piece menace Reijnders recorded seven crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Japan.

Impact Reijnders was the Netherlands' most active creative presence in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Japan, delivering seven crosses (three accurate), taking four corners and registering two interceptions across 70 minutes as the left-sided midfielder in Koeman's 4-3-3 who consistently pushed forward to provide width and delivery. The midfielder created multiple dangerous moments from his set-piece deliveries throughout the second half as the Netherlands pushed to kill the game after going 2-1 up, and his ability to combine defensive pressing with attacking output makes him one of the most versatile and important players in the Dutch squad heading into the remainder of Group F.

Creative option at World Cup Reijnders arrives at the 2026 World Cup with something to prove, named in Ronald Koeman's Netherlands squad and expected to start in an attacking midfield role despite a season at...

Impact Reijnders contributed six goals and six assists alongside 34 key passes and 48 corners across 43 appearances including 29 starts in all competitions, numbers that reflect a player who began the campaign as a trusted starter before gradually losing his foothold in coach Pep Guardiola's rotation as the season progressed. The reduction in minutes over the final months of the campaign means he arrives at the tournament with fresh legs, though the lack of consistent playing time and rhythm is a genuine concern for a midfielder who thrives when given the freedom to express himself on a regular basis. At international level, Reijnders is one of the more technically gifted and dynamic options available to manager Ronald Koeman in the center of the park, capable of arriving late into the box, combining quickly in tight spaces and contributing directly to goals. The World Cup represents a significant opportunity for the 27-year-old to reassert himself on the biggest stage after a somewhat frustrating domestic campaign, and getting him back to his best form early in the tournament will be one of the key objectives for the Dutch coaching staff heading into the summer.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Decent despite loss Reijnders had four shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Reijnders would feature again Sunday, his second start in their past five games, as he earned more time to end the season. It was a decent display in the midfield for him, recording four shots and five crosses. After such a strong start to the season, this is a bit of a rough way for him to end the campaign, as he will need to work for a better role next season, earning five goals and two assists in his 28 appearances (19 starts).

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Starts against Bees Reijnders recorded four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Reijnders has struggled for time recently in league play and finally earned another start Saturday, his first league start since Jan. 24. He earned a decent four shots while completing 25 of his 27 passes, earning a decent day but nothing special. The midfielder was expected to be used more this season and could be used a few more times in the final run-in as the schedule gets busy. However, it appears a spot will open up for him next season as Bernardo Silva exits.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Whips in four crosses Reijnders registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Tuesday's 2-1 loss versus Real Madrid.

Impact Reijnders was called into the starting XI as City tried to dig out of a hole, providing the club with a bit more playmaking and athleticism in the midfield. However, he would fail to have much success against the Spanish giants, recording a few significant stats that would amount to nothing. He is without a goal contribution in all competitions since Jan. 10 in FA Cup play, although he has only started in five games since then, another City player not seeing enough time following a summer transfer.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Fires in three shots Reijnders generated three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-1 defeat versus Glimt.

Impact Reijnders had returned to the starting XI Tuesday after he was on the bench for the loss to United, playing the full 90 minutes. He would record three shots to no avail, with only one hitting the target. He is still yet to bag a goal in UCL play this season in seven appearances (five starts).

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Claims goal Reijnders scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Chelsea.

Impact Reijnders would come back into the starting XI Sunday and that would lead to another goal, finding the back of the net in the 42nd minute. This marks his third goal in their past four games, now earning a goal in three straight starts. He now has five goals and two assists in 19 appearances (15 starts) this season.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Nets opening goal Reijnders scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Reijnders would open the scoring Saturday, with the midfielder finding the back of the net in the 48th minute. This is his second straight game with a goal, now with three in their past five league games. That said, he is up to six goal contributions in the league this season, with four coming as goals.
