Respected transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli are interested in making a move for Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez ahead of the summer transfer window.
Football transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli are interested in Manchester City‘s Riyad Mahrez.
Mahrez becomes the latest star linked with a move to the Middle Eastern country, following the moves of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and the rumoured-to-be complete N’Golo Kante.
The winger still has a year left on his contract, therefore a fee would almost certainly be required for his transfer.
Romano revealed the transfer news on his Twitter account on Thursday morning.
“Saudi side Al-Ahli interest in Riyad Mahrez, confirmed and concrete as they want to sign Algerian star – but Manchester City have not been approached yet at this stage.” he tweeted.
“Man City would require a consistent fee for Mahrez, no chance to let him leave for free.”
