Tijjani Reijnders Joins Al-Qadsiah for £52 Million Move
Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders transferred from Manchester City to Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah for £52 million. He was named after Nigerian legend Tijani Babangida and spent only one season at Manchester City.
Reijnders stated that generational wealth was a primary motivation for his move, aiming to secure financial stability beyond his football career. He signed a five-year contract with Al-Qadsiah, reportedly worth around £86 million over its duration.
Despite interest from other European clubs, he chose to join Al-Qadsiah, where he has made a promising start by scoring three goals in five appearances. The club, managed by Brendan Rodgers, is currently fourth in the Saudi Pro League and competes in the AFC Champions League.
Reijnders has maintained his position in the Dutch national team setup, indicating that the transfer has not negatively impacted his international standing.
