Ал Галатасарайдын эшигинен кайтты: Рейндерстен таң калыштуу которуу жана акчаны моюнга алуу!

Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, whose name attracted wide attention in the Turkish and world press during the summer transfer period, made very candid evaluations about the transition process from the English giant Manchester City to the Saudi Arabian representative Al-Qadsiah. Giving an exclusive interview to NOS, one of the leading organizations of the Dutch press, the star football player shared the behind-the-scenes of his transfer and the material and moral factors that led to this decision.

Decision to Leave Manchester City and Role Change

Reijnders stated that the idea of separation matured after Manchester City's technical staff informed him that they would continue to play him in a different role in the midfield, and summarized the decision moment with the following words: "I realized that things were going in that direction at City again and I started to question myself whether I wanted to continue this way for another season. To be honest, my answer was 'No'. I wanted to sail to new horizons and evaluate the options of other clubs. As a result of my meetings with the club, the way for this separation will be paved." I got the answer."

Future Planning and European Goal with Brendan Rodgers

The experienced football player emphasized that the meeting he had with Brendan Rodgers, who is the coach of Al-Qadsiah, played a major role in his transfer, and gave important tips on career planning. Reijnders said, "Rodgers told me that I could play football at a high level here for 3-4 years and then return to the top of European football. There are many successful examples of this in the football world and my main goal is in this direction."

"Even My Grandchildren's Financial Future is Secure"

Frankly touching on the financial dimension of the astronomical offer from Saudi Arabia, the Dutch midfielder gave a clear answer to those who discussed the moral dimension of this choice. The star player said, "The moral dimension of such decisions can always be discussed, but I think anyone who received a similar offer would say 'yes' to it. I do not want to work after my football career ends. In fact, I did not have to work after City, but now I can build a great future for the generations after me. There is no need to lie about this; by signing this contract, I ensured that even my grandchildren are completely financially secure. Why should I say 'no' when the situation is like this?" said.

According to the information in the British press and international media, it was stated that Tijjani Reijnders would earn a huge fee of 80 million euros in total within the scope of the 4-year contract he signed with Al-Qadsiah. The Saudi Arabian club paid a net transfer fee of 52 million pounds to Manchester City in order to make this transfer.

Galatasaray and George Gardi Detail

It is known that Galatasaray, who wanted to strengthen its midfield line during the summer transfer period, worked hard for the Dutch star. It was reported in the press that the yellow-red management gave official authority to the world-famous manager George Gardi to complete this transfer. However, the astronomical figures presented by Al-Qadsiah and the offer that pushed the budget limits prevented Galatasaray from making this transfer, and Reijnders turned his route to Saudi Arabia.
