Utilizado como sustituto de lujo por su entrenador Pep Guardiola, Riyad Mahrez (32 años, 47 partidos y 15 goles en todas las competiciones esta temporada) sigue siendo, sin embargo, un elemento importante en el Manchester City.
Prueba de ello es que mientras el extremo argelino es objeto de codicia en Arabia Saudí donde le espera un lucrativo contrato, los mancunianos se oponen, de momento, a su marcha, revela el sitio Foot Mercato.
Efectivamente, tras perder a Ilkay Gündogan, los Ciudadanos no quieren ver fugarse a otro de sus pilares. Entendemos, por tanto, que salvo oferta XXL, Mahrez, cuyo contrato se extiende hasta junio de 2025, debería permanecer en el City este verano.
