According to UK betting sites, AC Milan are in the running to sign Manchester City star, Riyad Mahrez, as the 32-year-old looks set to leave the Etihad this summer.

Manchester City ended the season with the finest accomplishment in football, as they completed the treble and were victorious in the Champions League final, clinching the club’s first European trophy.

Despite this historic achievement, Pep Guardiola is reportedly expecting a huge change to his side this summer and the blue side of Manchester are set for a huge overhaul this summer.

The club are preparing for a plethora of departures with Kyle Walker, Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan all rumoured with a move away from the Etihad this summer.

Another player that has been linked with a move elsewhere is former Leicester City star, Riyad Mahrez, as the Algerian has dropped down the pecking order under Guardiola.

During his time in Manchester, Mahrez has made 236 appearances in all competitions, contributing to 137 goals in the process.

The 2022-23 campaign was extremely fruitful for both Mahrez, and Manchester City, as the Algeria international contributed to 28 goals in 47 appearances.

However, during the latter stages of the season, Guardiola found a consistent starting eleven and the former Leicester player struggled to cement himself within the set-up.

AC Milan, according to the UK bookies, are one of the clubs interested in landing the 32-year-old’s signature and could spend up to £35m.

The five-time Premier League winner still has two years remaining on his contract and is not likely to force a move away from the blue side of Manchester.
