They found out that Arabia wants Mahrez, Manchester City's surprising response
Due to Saudi Arabian interest on Mahrez, Manchester City's decision that surprises everyone
The future of Riyad Mahrez is far from certain. The Algerian-born player comes from closing a great season with Manchester City and now, the footballer is settling down in a big way regarding what can happen. However, a major interest from Saudi Arabia plans to take the player out of Pep Guardiola's tutelage.
The club, Al Ahli, which will return to the Saudi Premier League after a season in the second division, wants the Algerian to fight again (they are four-time league champions). However, there are still no formal contacts with the Champions League finalist. However, there is with Manchester City, to whom it is reported that there could be an important offer.
A tempting offer of 200 million euros was enough for Karim Benzema to leave Real Madrid after 14 seasons. The French striker reached an official agreement with Al Ittihad for the next two seasons, with an optional third. So it is expected that an amount close to that could be offered to the Algerian player to convince him to sign for the team.
What is Manchester City's decision on the matter?
The citizen team is aware that Riyad Mahrez may have an unbeatable offer in his career and certainly, he is a player who has taken a back seat in Pep Guardiola's priorities and lineups. For this reason, according to Fabrizio Romano, the club does not close the doors to negotiate his transfer, but a significant monetary amount would be requested for it.
