Man City star Riyad Mahrez 'identified as next target for Saudi Arabia move' and more transfer rumours

Riyad Mahrez has been earmarked as the next big-name target for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli once they complete the signings of Edouard Mendy and Roberto Firmino, according to reports.

Multiple players from across Europe's top leagues have already made the move to Saudi Arabia this summer, following a massive cash injection for the league's top four sides from their Public Investment Fund. From the Premier League alone, the likes of Mendy, N'Golo Kante and Ruben Neves have all been signed.

Firmino will have a medical with Al-Ahli after leaving Liverpool as a free agent, and the Daily Mail reports that their next target will be Mahrez. Such is their eagerness to land the Algerian they are said to have offered him a two-year contract worth £43million per season - five times bigger than his current earnings at City.
