BREAKING: Riyadh Mahrez Now Available As Free Agent After Leaving Al Ahli today

Riyad Mahrez has officially left Al-Ahli after the Saudi Pro League giants announced the termination of his contract on Saturday.

The shock departure comes shortly after the former Manchester City winger confirmed his retirement from international football following Algeria’s World Cup exit

Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli have confirmed that Mahrez has left the club with immediate effect, bringing an end to his three-year stay in Jeddah. The club released an official statement on social media to bid farewell to the 35-year-old, who joined the club from Manchester City in the summer of 2023.

In a heartfelt message posted on X, the club said: “Three unforgettable years. Countless magical moments. A legacy that will forever live in the hearts of every Al Ahli fan.”

Despite the warm sentiments from the hierarchy, the move has reportedly caused friction with a section of the fan base that was desperate to see the creative winger remain at the club for the final year of his contract.
