As such, this has left Man City as the only reported suitor for Fernandez as new head coach Enzo Maresca is eyeing a reunion with the Chelsea star following a successful period together at Stamford Bridge.

While Nottingham Forest had been targeting a high-profile swoop for the Dutch international this summer, just one year after he moved to the Etihad Stadium from AC Milan in a £46.5m transfer, a move to Saudi Arabia is on the cards.

According to transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, Saudi Pro League club Al Qadsiah are in advanced talks with Man City to sign Reijnders and are close to agreeing a deal worth around £60m.

Of course, City would still need to raise a further £60m to fund a deal for Fernandez, but they are seeking a figure in that region for Rodri after rejecting two bids from Barcelona.
