Riyad Mahrez and Al-Ahli
Saturday
Al-Ahli have terminated Riyad Mahrez’s contract with immediate effect, ending his three-year stay in Jeddah. The Saudi Pro League club confirmed the decision shortly after the former Manchester City winger announced his retirement from international football with Algeria.
Mahrez had one year left on his deal and remained a major figure for Al-Ahli fans after joining in 2023. His exit has already fuelled transfer speculation, with a return to Europe and several ambitious clubs expected to monitor him.
