Former Aston Villa captain Gabriel Agbonlahor has urged Manchester City to keep winger Riyad Mahrez in the Premier League despite massive interest from
Mahrez reportedly rejected an initial £40 million-a-year offer from Al-Ahli, who plan to step up their efforts in signing him.
Despite not starting regularly at Manchester City under manager Pep Guardiola and facing competition from Bernardo Silva for the right-wing position, Mahrez has performed when called upon. The Algeria international recorded 15 goals and 13 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions for Man City during the 2022/23 season.
“I would not let him go, no. You look at Mahrez – he doesn’t look like he is 32 when he is on the pitch,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider.“He has not been playing much, so it would not surprise me if he does go. We know Pep likes to change a couple of players every summer. Saudi Arabia will pay big money to get it done. I can see Bernardo Silva and Mahrez going,” he added.Related Topics:
