Riyad Mahrez.<p>
Riyad Mahrez is on the verge of a transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli after Manchester City accepted a fee of up to £30million for the Algeria international. </p>
<p>
The Algeria international has consequently been given permission to miss the treble winners' pre-season tour of Asia. </p>
<p>
Mahrez, 32, is now set to discuss terms ahead of a potential move to the Jeddah-based Saudi Pro League outfit. Reports have suggested he has been offered a three-year contract. </p>
<p>
The former Leicester winger was not included in the 25-man City squad due to leave for Japan and South Korea on Wednesday. </p>
<p>
Mahrez had two years remaining on a contract which he extended last summer but had reportedly been frustrated with a lack of game time in the treble-winning 2022-23 campaign. </p>
<p>
Mahrez made just 22 Premier League starts last term and was an unused substitute in the finals of both the FA Cup and Champions League. </p>
<p>
He joined City in a £60million deal from Leicester in 2018 having helped the Foxes to win the Premier League two years previously. </p>
<p>
He went on to win the title four more times with Pep Guardiola's side. </p>
