MANCHESTER CITY star Riyad Mahrez has reportedly agreed a stunning £410,000-a-week transfer to Saudi Arabia.
But the winger will not force through a transfer exit after winning the Treble under Pep Guardiola.
Mahrez, 32, has been a key player for City since a £60million move from Leicester in 2018.
The Algeria international has scored 78 games in 236 games at the Emirates, winning four titles and a Champions League in the process.
But Mahrez is now being tipped as the next star to make a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.
Al-Ahli have already splashed out on Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
And they have also wrapped up a free transfer for Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino.
Sports Zone claims Al-Ahli have now presented Mahrez with a stunning contract worth £410k per week following initial contact last month.
The forward is keen on moving to the Middle East, believing the time is right to move on, and has already agreed personal terms.
But Mahrez’s future now lies in City’s hands, with Guardiola reportedly keen to keep hold of him.

Teammate Bernardo Silva is also being tempted by a huge transfer to Saudi Arabia.
The Portugal ace has been linked with a move away from City for several summers.
And Guardioa has no intention of losing both Mahrez and Silva in the same window.
Mahrez has now informed City’s board that he wants to quit the club.
The ace is hopeful his move to Al-Ahli will now receive the green light.
But Mahrez has no intention of forcing through an exit due to his “strong relationship” with the Treble champions.
