Tijjani Reijnders has completed his move to Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah from Manchester City, the Premier League club have announced.
The Dutchman has moved on a permanent deal after City accepted a bid of around £51 million ($69.4 million).
Reijnders spent just one season at the Etihad Stadium, making 50 appearances and scoring seven goals, after signing from AC Milan for £46.5 million last summer.
His departure continues a summer of upheaval at City after the departures of manager Pep Guardiola and senior players Rodri, John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Nathan Ake.
Reijnders, who helped City win a domestic cup double last season, told the club's website: "I have been incredibly privileged to play for Manchester City, and I have relished every minute of my time here.
"To be part of the squad that won two such special trophies last season were both incredible experiences and achievements that I will savour forever."
Reijnders' exit could see City step up efforts to complete a deal for Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi while they continue to be linked with Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez.
Elliot Anderson's £116 million arrival from Nottingham Forest has been City's most significant signing this summer.
Reijnders will join up with former Liverpool and Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers at Al Qadsiah.
The Saudi club posted a welcome message which read: "Some signings just complete the picture. This one's ours."
