Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez agrees personal terms with Saudi Pro League club

Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has reportedly agreed personal terms with Saudi club Al-Ahli. 

The 32-year-old played a key role in helping the Citizens win the European treble last season. 

He made 46 appearances across all competitions in the 2022-23 campaign, scoring 15 and creating 13 goals in the process. 

But now the Algeria international is set to end his seven-year stay in Manchester as he has agreed personal terms with Al-Ahli, reports Arriyadiyah (according to the Daily Mail). 

The Saudi Pro League side are said to be ready to offer £30 million fee to City for a deal. 

Meanwhile, the player himself will reportedly receive £43m-per-year plus bonuses for a two-year contract. 

Mahrez joined Manchester City in 2018 from Leicester City in a deal worth £60m. 

He has been an important member of the first-team over the years, and has won four Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy during his stint at the club. 

The winger has clocked up 236 appearances across all competitions for City, netting 78 goals and providing 59 assists. 

His current contract at City will expire in 2025, having penned his last deal in 2022. 

But he now looks set to join Al-Ahli who secured promotion to the Pro League after winning the second division title in May. 

The ongoing transfer window has seen some of the biggest names join Saudi clubs, including the likes of Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly.
