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