Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez could be the latest big name to leave Europe for the Middle East as reports suggest that he has agreed personal terms with Saudi’s Al-Ahli.
The Algerian has two years left on his current contract at the Etihad after winning a historic triple with City last month.
Mahrez joined Manchester City in 2018 for a fee worth £60 million and could end his five-year stay at the Etihad this summer.
Per reports from CBS’ Ben Jacobs, Mahrez has reached a verbally agreement with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, as the raid on European football’s biggest names continues in the Middle East.
While it is clarified that there is still work to be done on the club-to-club side of the deal over the next 24 to 48 hours, Mahrez himself is ‘keen’ on the move, and Al-Ahli hope to move fast in order to finalise their marquee signing of the summer.
