Saudi club Al Qadsiah is in advanced negotiations to sign Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein. Talks are ongoing between both clubs and with the player. Reijnders, a Dutch international who joined City a year ago from AC Milan for £46.5 million, has seen his playing time limited in the Premier League, starting only half of matches under former manager Pep Guardiola. Nottingham Forest also retains interest. Meanwhile, Manchester City's midfield is in flux: Rodri's future is uncertain amid Barcelona interest, Bernardo Silva has left for Real Madrid, and new manager Enzo Maresca is targeting Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea has set a Friday 5 PM deadline for City to submit an offer or they will keep the Argentine. An agreement for Reijnders is expected in the coming days.
