Riyad Mahrez 'to undergo medical' ahead of Saudi Arabia move and more Man City transfer rumours

Riyad Mahrez has agreed personal terms with Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli ahead of a potential transfer, according to reports.

Manchester City have already waved goodbye to one crucial player this summer as Ilkay Gundogan left for Barcelona upon the expiration of his contract and more could yet follow him out of the door. Aymeric Laporte, Joao Cancelo, Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva all have uncertain futures but the one who currently appears closest to an exit is Mahrez.

Though the winger wasn't relied upon quite as much for goals last season following the arrival of Erling Haaland, he still remained a key member of Pep Guardiola's squad and contributed 15 goals and 13 assists. However, Mahrez was left sitting on the bench for both the FA Cup and Champions League finals and has since been linked with a move away.

Saudi Arabian clubs have been splashing the cash in the transfer window in their efforts to recruit Premier League stars and Mahrez could be the latest to follow the gold rush. According to Football Insider, Mahrez has agreed personal terms with Al-Ahli and has jetted off to Dubai to undergo a medical.

City are due to report for pre-season training on Monday and it will be telling if Mahrez is absent. The report adds that the Algerian has agreed 'a staggering contract offer worth £43million per season plus bonuses' and is set to sign for two years with the option of a third.

However, there does not appear to be an agreement between the club and City for the transfer of Mahrez just yet. The 32-year-old signed a new contract last summer until 2025 so City are under no pressure to sell without getting an adequate fee.
