Al Ahli Secures Riyad Mahrez in €40m Deal from Manchester City

Al Ahli, one of the prominent football clubs in Saudi Arabia, has successfully secured the signature of Riyad Mahrez from Manchester City. The transfer deal is valued at €35 million, with an additional €5 million set aside for potential add-ons in the future.

The Algerian footballer, Riyad Mahrez, is expected to undergo a medical examination on the following day to ensure he is fit and ready for his new adventure in the Saudi Pro League. Once the medical checks are cleared, he will finalize his move to Al Ahli.

As part of the transfer agreement, Riyad Mahrez is poised to sign a three-year contract with Al Ahli, with an intriguing twist that a conditional fourth year might be added to his tenure with the club. The conditional aspect likely means that if certain performance-based targets or conditions are met during his initial three-year contract, the fourth year will automatically be activated.

This significant transfer is expected to be an exciting development for Al Ahli and their fans, as Riyad Mahrez is a talented and experienced player who has proven his worth on both domestic and international stages. The move to the Saudi Pro League presents a new chapter in Mahrez’s career, and Al Ahli will undoubtedly benefit from his skills and contributions on the pitch.
