Riyad Mahrez looks set to depart Manchester City after the club agreed a deal to sell the winger to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli.
Having joined Pep Guardiola's side back in 2018 after leaving Leicester City, Mahrez has enjoyed a trophy laden spell at the Etihad, which culminated in helping Man City claim an historic treble last term.
Last season, Mahrez bagged 15 goals in all competitions, making a whopping 47 appearances across the Premier League, Champions League and two domestic cups.
According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, the 32-year-old is set to join Al Ahli on a three-year deal. The Saudi Arabian side have agreed a deal with the Premier League champions worth just over an initial £30m with add-ons included.

Mahrez will undergo a medical on Thursday before signing a three-year deal with an option of a fourth. The Algerian international was omitted from Man City's 25-man pre-season squad for their trip to Japan.
And in moving to Al-Ahli, Mahrez will link up with former Chelsea and Liverpool stars Edouard Mendy and Roberto Firmino, who also recently joined the Saudi Pro League side.
