Tijjani Reijnders could leave Manchester City in an extremely striking transfer

Manchester City and Al-Qadsiah are in advanced talks over the transfer of Tijjani Reijnders, according to Fabrizio Romano on Thursday.

The clubs are close to agreeing a €60 million fee. Reijnders himself, though, still needs convincing.

Nottingham Forest, who are also interested in the midfielder, are keeping a close eye on the situation.

Still only 28, Reijnders remains under contract at Manchester City until the middle of 2030. He now has an interesting decision to make.

After joining from AC Milan for €55 million last summer, where he had been one of the undisputed stars, the Zwolle-born player started well in Manchester too. But he gradually slipped to the bench.

Across last season, Reijnders played 2,810 minutes for Manchester City. In that time he scored seven goals, five of them in the Premier League, and provided eight assists.

He could now follow fellow international Crysencio Summerville. He signed for Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League after a good World Cup.
