Manchester City have accepted a bid worth up to £30m for Riyad Mahrez from Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli.

Mahrez is thought to have joined the Jeddah-based Saudi Pro League outfit on a three-year contract.

The 32-year-old Algeria international had two years remaining on a contract which he extended last summer, but has reportedly been frustrated with a lack of game time in the treble-winning 2022-23 campaign.

Mahrez made just 22 Premier League starts last term and was an unused substitute in the finals of both the FA Cup and Champions League.

He joined City in a £60m deal from Leicester in 2018 having helped the Foxes to win the Premier League two years previously.

He went on to win the title four more times with Pep Guardiola’s side.
