Manchester City will have to deal with the departure of Riyad Mahrez for next season. It seems that everything is settled as reported by The Athletic. In fact, they report that this very week Riyad Mahrez will pass medical with Al Ahli, who have been the team that has bid for his services ahead of next season.

 

According to journalist David Ornstein, the agreement has been reached for a total of 30 million euros, which will go directly to Manchester City. As for Mahrez, a significant salary increase is expected and he will sign a 3-year contract with an option for a fourth season, if the Algerian so wishes. Given this situation, Manchester City will have to go out quickly to the transfer market and try to find an element that fits the interests of the club.

In one of the profiles appears the case of Neymar Jr. The Brazilian does not have a secure future under the orders of Luis Enrique in the next season, despite being known since his time at FC Barcelona. Given this situation, Manchester City has a unique option to get the Brazilian, whom Pep Guardiola holds in high esteem and has never had the opportunity to coach him in his career.

 

Will Manchester City go for the signing of Neymar?

The English team will need reinforcements considering that they will possibly also have to deal with the departure of Bernardo Silva.At the time, AS, came to report that the Brazilian was a player that could interest the citizens.However, at the moment the English club that is close to Neymar's steps is Chelsea FC. For this reason, it seems that Manchester City will go for another player and one of those who are interested according to English media is Raphinha of FC Barcelona.
