Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez could be another player leaving Europe as reports suggest that he has agreed personal terms with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli.

The Algerian player has two years left on his current contract at the Etihad after winning a historic triple with City last month.

Mahrez joined Manchester City in 2018 for a fee worth £60 million and could end his five-year stay at the Etihad this summer.

The City forward has been linked with a move away this summer and recent reports suggest that he has agreed personal terms with a Saudi Arabian team.

According to reports, the recently promoted team is willing to pay Pep Guardiola's team £30 million to sign the Algerian.

Al-Ahli, one of the four founding teams that were taken over earlier this month by the nation's Public Investment Fund, which also owns Newcastle United, was unexpectedly relegated to the Saudi top division.

Last month, Mail Sport claimed that Mahrez was considering ending his career in Saudi Arabia where he could receive a two-year contract for £43 million plus bonuses.

While they continue to pursue great European players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, who have joined Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, it is evident how ambitious and financially powerful the Saudi clubs are.

Mahrez not sure of the move
According to Daily Mail, Mahrez is understood to be hesitant about leaving City this summer having recently won the Treble under Pep Guardiola.

Mahrez was frustrated about his lack of playing time toward the end of last season when he was left on the bench in the Champions League and FA Cup finals.

The Algerian has made 236 appearances for City since moving from Leicester in 2018, making 78 goals and 59 assists.

If he were to sign with Al-Ahli, he would team up with former Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who joined Kalidou Koulibaly and N'Golo Kante as the third player from the Blues to leave for the Middle East this summer.
