Arabia continues to look for great talents in Europe and the latest case has been precisely Riyad Mahrez. The Algerian is a profile that is very popular in the Saudi Pro League and now, he has established himself in a great way for the next season. In that sense, the footballer’s new club for the following season comes as a surprise.
“Riyad Mahrez could be the next player to join the Saudi Pro League this summer,” reports the British Daily Mail. And it is that from the local Saudi press they consider imminent the arrival of Riyad Mahrez to the Middle East. The Arriyadiyah media reports that Al-Ahli “would be willing to offer 30 million pounds to Pep Guardiola’s team to get the services of the Algerian”.
Negotiations that would be even more advanced between the Saudi club and the player. At the same time that Riyad Mahrez would have “agreed the personal conditions” of his new contract with Al-Ahli, this media notes that “the Algerian will receive an offer of 43 million pounds per year plus bonuses for a two-year contract”. In other words, around 35 million euros for the Citizens and around 50 million euros for the reigning Champions League champions.
Will Mahrez leave for Al Ahli?
Al-Ahli, who have already signed Edouard Mendy from Chelsea and returned to the top flight of Saudi soccer after their surprise relegation, would follow the lead of Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad when it comes to signing big stars from the Premier League.
