Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah are in advanced talks with Manchester City over the signing of Tijjani Reijnders, GIVEMESPORT understands, with the two clubs confident a deal will be concluded.

New City boss Enzo Maresca has made only slight changes to the squad he inherited from Pep Guardiola so far this summer, with Elliot Anderson the big arrival in a £116million deal from Nottingham Forest.

Five players have departed the Etihad Stadium – two on free transfers after their contracts expired – but there could be more upheaval with Reijnders on the way out and Barcelona attempting to sign Rodri.

Dutchman Reijnders only arrived at the Etihad in a £46million deal last summer and had initially looked to be a quality signing for Guardiola after hitting the ground running on his debut.

Reijnders scored one and assisted one in an opening day win over Wolves, but failed to live up to that early hype. He would go on to score four more Premier League goals, and grab one more assist, with two more goals and six more assists coming in other competitions.

After starting the opening nine fixtures of the 2025/26 Premier League season, Reijnders would only start 10 others under Guardiola, and only managed 215 minutes of top-flight football in the final four months of the season.

Qadsiah believe Reijnders is a ‘world-class’ signing

The midfielder is now set to depart the Etihad Stadium after just one year with the club, with City set to make a £5million profit on a player who never quite fit in. A deal is in place for Al-Qadsiah to pay a fee in the region of €60million (£51million).

GMS understands that the Saudi side view Reijnders as a world-class and peak age player – he is 28 years old – with Qadsiah keen to strengthen in midfield ahead of their first Asian Champions League campaign.

Reijnders played predominantly in central midfield under Guardiola last season, although he was also deployed on the left-hand side and even played up front in the final game of the season against Aston Villa.

Having only spent one year in England, he will no doubt go down as a flop signing, but he actually average a goal contribution every 187 minutes on the pitch.

The 28-year-old started every group game clash for the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup, but was an unused substitute as they lost to Morocco in the round of 32.

Reijnders stats for Man City:

Appearances: 47 (31 starts)

Goals: 7

Assists: 8

Minutes played: 2,810

US President Donald Trump revealed back in February who his NFL GOAT was, and it might be a selection that leaves a good number of fans scratching their heads.

Trump’s pick for the top spot spent nine seasons in the league as a running back and won one Super Bowl – a fact that may leave other candidates smarting.

Those potentially at the front of the queue for the title include the legendary quarterback and five-time champion Tom Brady, three-time Super Bowl champion and 10-time All-Pro wide receiver Jerry Rice, or fabled quarterback Joe Montana, who went four and zero in Super Bowls.

But, according to the president, they are all trailing in the wake of this former Cleveland Browns star.

Speaking at the White House during a speech to mark Black History Month in February, Trump said that the late Cleveland Browns legend Jim Brown, a vocal supporter of the 45th and 47th president, was the greatest of all time.

“I would say there can’t be a greater football player than Jim Brown,” Trump said at the time. “He really liked Trump, Jim Brown. He was tough. He’d come in, he was very silent. He was silent but deadly. He’s come in and look at people, and if he didn’t like them, he’d just look at me, and he’d go, ‘no good’. He wanted to rip their heart out.”

Brown, who had voted for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential elections, met Trump on multiple occasions through the years and later made his feelings for Trump known.

“The graciousness, the intelligence, the reception we got was fantastic. He’s amenable to listening to people who didn’t vote for him,” Brown once said of Trump.

Brown passed away in May 2023.

Jim Brown’s NFL Career

Jim Brown was one of the NFL’s most-celebrated running backs and spent his entire nine-year career with the Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965.

He led the league in rushing eight times, earned nine Pro Bowl selections, and won three MVP awards. Brown helped Cleveland win the 1964 NFL Championship before retiring at age 30. He finished with 12,312 rushing yards and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971.

With Brady’s career now over, it seems there is little he can do to change the president’s mind about the subject. However, fellow quarterback Patrick Mahomes may be able to get his foot in the door, at just 30 years old and still active with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Former WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield has taken to X to welcome his one-time colleague Dawn Marie to OnlyFans.

Former ECW and WWE star Dawn Marie last week officially joined OnlyFans – an internet content paid subscription service – at the age of 55. However, she has said she will not be posting explicit content to subscribers.

“Please note only sexy shoots and implied nudity will ever be shown here,” she wrote on her page. “No full nudity or overtly sexual/adult content is allowed. I’d love to hear from you in DMs, so don’t be shy, send me a message! Keep it fun, flirty and respectful.”

Marie is charging $12.95 a month for a subscription.

“I think it’s wonderful my friend Dawn Marie is joining OnlyFans. I hope she makes millions. I just got approached by OnlyFats, so you may hear an announcement soon,” Layfield posted.

Dawn Marie’s Time in WWE

Dawn Marie’s most prominent WWE storyline was perhaps with Torrie Wilson and her father Al. The New Jersey native started a relationship with Al Wilson and the pair became engaged and eventually married on SmackDown. Later in the storyline, Al died from a heart attack on their honeymoon. This led to a match at the Royal Rumble in 2003 in which Torrie defeated Dawn in a Stepmother vs Stepdaughter match.

Dawn Marie left WWE in 2005 after she became pregnant and later sued the company for wrongful termination, eventually settling the lawsuit in 2007 out of court. She was inducted into the Women’s Wrestling Hall of Fame and continues to make appearances at professional wrestling conventions.

Other WWE Figures That Have Explicit Content Websites

A number of former wrestling stars have turned to subscription-based fan platforms to offer followers exclusive content. Former WWE Women’s Champion Torrie Wilson uses rival service Passes, explaining that she chose the platform as she doesn’t want to provide nude content. Former WWE NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose uses OnlyFans, as does Brianna Coda, who performs under the ring name Elayna Black.

JBL, who earlier in his career formed one half of the Acolytes Protection Agency alongside Farooq, has been involved in several controversies during his wrestling career. He has faced allegations of bullying and hazing. Perhaps the most infamous was an incident with The Blue Meanie. The Blue Meanie had reportedly called out JBL’s bullying and Bradshaw actually hit his fellow wrestler, bloodying his face. That said, however, these latest comments appear to be made in a light-hearted manner.
