Riyad Mahrez

Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez has left the treble winners to join Saudi side Al-Ahli, the two clubs announced on Friday.

The 32-year-old Algerian winger joined Pep Guardiola's team in 2018 from Leicester, winning 11 major trophies at the club. "The wait is over: Riyad is real," the Saudi Pro League club said in a social media post.

City agreed a fee understood to be worth up to GBP30 million ($38.6 million) with Al-Ahli last week.

"I came to City to win trophies and enjoy my football and I achieved all that and so much more," Mahrez said in a statement from the Premier League club.

"I have had five unforgettable years with this football club, working with unbelievable players, fantastic supporters, and the best manager in the world."
