The 19-year-old has put pen to paper on a contract running until the end of June 2029, following countryman Tijjani Reijnders through the exit door at the Etihad Stadium after the Dutch midfielder's £52 million move to the Saudi club last month.
Sangaré joined City on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2025, having opted for a move to Manchester over signing his first professional contract at his formative club. He arrived off the back of a prolific spell in PSG's youth ranks, having scored 42 goals in 46 appearances for the club's Under-19 side.
At Manchester City, he spent last season with the academy, scoring 15 goals and adding three assists in 30 appearances across Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy, including a hat-trick against AS Monaco in the UEFA Youth League, in which he finished as the 2024/25 competition's top scorer with eight goals.
Born in Dionkoulane, Sangaré holds dual French and Malian nationality and has represented France at Under-19 level. Ligue 1 and Bundesliga clubs had been touted as the most likely destinations after Fabrizio Romano reported in June that City were fielding several approaches for the striker, with a loan move back to a major European league seen as the expected next step in his development.
Instead, he has followed Reijnders directly into Al-Qadsiah's first-team squad on a permanent deal, with no transfer fee disclosed for a player who arrived in Manchester without a fee of his own.
The move continues a pattern of Saudi Pro League clubs targeting City's academy prospects and further deepens the working relationship between the two clubs, with Al-Qadsiah managed by former Liverpool and Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.
Al-Qadsiah's official announcement described Sangaré as joining the club's first-team group, presenting him in the number 30 shirt as the second Manchester City player to move to the Saudi side in the space of a few weeks, following Reijnders' arrival at the club as they continue preparations for their move into the newly built Aramco Stadium.
