Reijnders Explains Saudi Move: “I Want Financial Freedom”

Tijjani Reijnders says financial security was a major reason behind his reported move from Manchester City to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah. The Dutch midfielder said the contract would allow him to secure the future of his family, including later generations, after his playing career ends. He said he chose not to hide behind football clichés about the decision. Reijnders also said Al-Qadsiah’s ambition to become one of Asia’s biggest clubs appealed to him. He hopes to contribute goals and assists as the club competes for trophies, while retaining his place in the Netherlands national-team setup.
