Al-Qadsiah are set to sign Manchester City’s Mahamadou Sangare after the clubs reached an agreement in principle on Sunday. Ben Jacobs understands that the deal is worth around $1m.

An agreement in principle indicates that broad club-to-club terms have been settled, but the transfer is not yet complete or official. The reporting points to significant progress between the teams while stopping short of confirmation. It does not specify the status of personal terms or any medical, and final documentation would still be required before either club could announce the move. The presence of a fee suggests a permanent transfer rather than a loan, though that is not stated.

Should the move be finalised, Sangare would make a switch from Manchester City to Saudi Arabia. No timeline for completion was given in the report.
