Juventus misses opportunity to sign Tijjani Reijnders from Man City
Summary

Tijjani Reijnders opted for Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League after failing to secure a move to Juventus. The midfielder, who joined Manchester City from AC Milan last year, was on the market following a limited tenure in the Premier League. Despite interest from Juventus and other European clubs, their proposals did not meet City’s requirements for a permanent transfer. Reijnders’ father disclosed ongoing discussions with Atletico Madrid, which ultimately fell through due to financial issues. After declining Al Qadsiah's initial offers, Reijnders accepted their third proposal, completing his transfer.
