Al-Ahli Sign Riyad Mahrez From Manchester City
Saudi Side, Al-Ahli has completed the signing of Riyad Mahrez from Manchester City.
The 32-year-old, who had two years left on his contract, is the latest big-name recruit by the SPL in a deal worth up to £30m.
“To play for Manchester City has been an honor and privilege,” said Mahrez.
“I came to City to win trophies and enjoy my football. I achieved all that and so much more.
“I’ve made a lifetime of wonderful memories. Manchester City will forever be a huge and happy part of my life.”
Mahrez helped City win 10 major honors during five seasons with the club but was an unused substitute for both the FA Cup and Champions League finals.
City’s director of football, Txiki Begiristain, said: “Riyad has been a major factor in our amazing successes over the past five years and his contribution will not be forgotten.
“He is a wonderful footballer to watch and leaves us with so many great memories.
“There are few wingers that possess his levels of skill and technique in world football, and he will be missed, but everyone will wish him all the best as he begins a new chapter in his career.“
