Reijnders says Man City role, Saudi offer prompted surprise summer switch
- Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders confirmed his surprise €61 million move to Saudi Pro League side Qadsiah, citing dissatisfaction with his tactical role at Manchester City.
- Seeking a dynamic midfield role, Reijnders told reporters, "In pre-season, I noticed that things were heading in that direction again at City, and I started thinking about whether I wanted another season like that."
- Reports indicate the deal is worth around 100 million euros over four years; Reijnders defended the switch by asking, "If this choice means my grandchildren can also live comfortably, why wouldn't I do it?"
- Qadsiah coach Brendan Rodgers convinced him to sign, suggesting he could play there four years before returning to Europe, as many players now do after Saudi Arabia stints.
- Ahead of the Nations League match against Germany, Reijnders defended the Saudi league's quality, claiming he rates it higher than the Dutch Eredivisie and urging critics to watch before judging.
