After five years at Manchester City, Mahrez has moved Al Ahli for £0 million, joining Edouard Mendy and Roberto Firmino.

The 2-year-old was well-liked in the City camp, especially by Haaland and Grealish.

And the two have posted their own goodbye notes to the front on social media.

Haaland shared a photo of the two celebrating a goal on his Instagram account.

The caption read: “A top player and a top person, we will miss you bro.

“Proud to have played with you.”

Grealish also had a heartfelt message for the Algerian after uploading a picture of them together in training.

His caption read: “My brother man. What a legend.

“Gonna miss you bro!! All the best on your new chapter.”

Last season, Mahrez helped City win the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup treble.

However, the Etihad team were willing to let the winger leave this summer if a club fulfilled their asking price of £0m, which Al Ahli did.

He scored 15 goals in 47 games last season but was benched in the finals against Inter Milan and Manchester United.

“To play for Manchester City has been an honour and privilege,” said Mahrez.

“I came to City to win trophies and enjoy my football. I achieved all that and so much more.

“I’ve made a lifetime of wonderful memories. Manchester City will forever be a huge and happy part of my life.”
