Al-Ahli are expected to agree a £30m deal with Manchester City for Riyad Mahrez this week

Al-Ahli are expected to agree a £30million deal with Manchester City for winger Riyad Mahrez this week.

The 32-year-old - who won the treble with City last month - has two years remaining on his current contract at the Etihad but has agreed personal terms with Al-Ahli.

But his five-year stay with City looks set to come to an end as he closes in on a move to Al-Ahli.

The newly-promoted club are said to be prepared to offer Pep Guardiola's side £30million to secure the Algerian's services.

Mail Sport reported last month that Mahrez is interested in ending his career in Saudi Arabia. He has been offered £43m-a-year plus bonuses for a two-year contract.

Al-Ahli returned to the Saudi top-flight after surprisingly being relegated and are one of the four founding clubs – including Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad – that were taken over earlier last month by the country’s Public Investment Fund, which also owns Newcastle United.

The ambition and financial might of the Saudi clubs is clear as they continue to target top European stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, who have joined Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad respectively.

But while Mahrez is open to the idea of finishing his career in the Kingdom, it is understood that he is uncertain about leaving City this summer having just won the Treble under Pep Guardiola.

The Algeria winger was disappointed with his lack of game time towards the end of the season when he was an unused substitute in the finals of the Champions League and FA Cup, but leaving would still pose a risk for further success.

Since joining from Leicester in 2018, Mahrez has made 236 appearances for City scoring 78 goals and providing 59 assists.

Were he to join Al-Ahli, he would join up with former Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who became the third Blues player, after Kalidou Koulibaly and N'Golo Kante, to move to the Middle East this summer.

Mendy left Chelsea after three years in west London and was part of the team who won the Champions League in 2021.
