The deal, reportedly worth up to £30 million, marks the end of Mahrez’s successful five-year stint at City where he played an integral role in the club’s numerous triumphs.

During his time at Manchester City, Mahrez showcased his exceptional skills, combining dazzling dribbling, precise passing, and a lethal eye for goal. His contributions on the pitch were instrumental in the team’s domestic dominance, including back-to-back Premier League titles and several other major trophies. Known for his impeccable technique and ability to navigate even the tightest spaces, Mahrez has often been hailed as one of the Premier League’s most exciting players.

The move to Saudi Arabia’s top-flight league presents a fresh challenge for the 32-year-old, who will undoubtedly strive to make an immediate impact and continue to showcase his undeniable talent on the pitch.

As football enthusiasts eagerly await Mahrez’s debut in his new club colors, one thing is certain: his departure from Manchester City marks the end of an era and the dawn of an exciting new adventure in his footballing journey.

 Grealish paid tribute on Instagram: “My brother man. What a legend. Gonna miss you bro!! All the best on your new chapter.”
