An agreement between the parties has not been finalized yet, but the Saudi club is pushing hard to seal the deal in the coming days.
Al-Qadsiah are aiming to wrap up negotiations both with Manchester City and the Netherlands international himself. As a result, Reijnders' future could be decided very soon.
During the 2025/26 season, Reijnders made 47 appearances for Manchester City across all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 7 assists. That means the Dutch midfielder racked up 14 goal contributions in his debut season in England.
Reijnders started his professional career at PEC Zwolle before moving to AZ Alkmaar's system. He also played on loan at Waalwijk, and in the summer of 2023, made a transfer to Milan. Over two seasons in Italy, he played 104 matches and scored 19 goals, before joining Manchester City in June 2025.
