Reijnders says Saudi move was intended to secure family’s future

Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders says he signed a lucrative contract with Saudi Pro League club Al Qadsiah to secure the financial future of his grandchildren. The claim was reported by Punch Nigeria, which attributed the decision to Reijnders. The report did not provide details of the contract’s length, value or the date on which it was signed.

Reijnders’s explanation places long-term family security at the centre of his decision to join Al Qadsiah. No further comments from the player, the club or other parties were included in the supplied material. The source also did not state whether Reijnders discussed sporting considerations, his role at the club or the wider circumstances surrounding the move.

It only identified the contract as lucrative and linked his decision to his grandchildren’s future. The Saudi Pro League has attracted international players, but the supplied material does not provide information about the league, Al Qadsiah’s season or Reijnders’s playing record. Further details were referenced through a Punch Nigeria link, but were not included in the source material.
