Manchester City: Algeria winger Riyad Mahrez joins Al-Ahli in £30m deal

Riyad Mahrez has completed his transfer from Manchester City to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.

The 32-year-old has become the latest big-name recruit by the SPL in a deal worth up to £30m.

City paid £60m for Algeria winger Mahrez in 2018, and he scored 15 goals in 47 games in the Blues' Treble-winning campaign last season.

He had two years left on his contract but was an unused substitute for both the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

The likes of Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante and Ruben Neves have already followed Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia this summer, while Steven Gerrard has been named Al-Ettifaq manager and Michael Emenalo has been appointed the SPL's director of football.
