Riyad Mahrez could be the latest big-name player heading to Saudi Arabia.
The Manchester City winger was not included Wednesday in a 25-man squad for the team’s preseason tour of Japan and South Korea amid reports he is joining Al-Ahli in a deal worth up to 30 million pounds ($38.7 million).
Mahrez was given permission not to go on the tour provided City received a bid that met its valuation of the Algeria international, who joined the club from Leicester in 2018.
City hasn’t officially confirmed the agreement of a deal for Mahrez with Al-Ahli, a Jeddah-based team that this offseason has already signed goalkeeper Edouard Mendy from Chelsea and striker Roberto Firmino following the end of his deal at Liverpool.
A slew of other top soccer stars have moved to Saudi Arabia’s Pro League this offseason as the oil-rich kingdom embarks on an attempt to raise the profile of its league.
