There has been plenty of rumours about a handful of Manchester City stars leaving the club this summer after winning their historic treble.

One of those players was Riyad Mahrez as the 32-year-old supposedly had a massive offer on the table from Saudi Arabia with the country trying to bring some of the worlds biggest stars to their league to improve the quality.

So far the likes Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante and even Steven Gerrard have moved to the country to play and manage which shows how big of an impact their massive contract offers are having.

Mahrez was the next in line for a big contract and he had supposedly agreed to join the league but reportedly now Manchester City consider the Algerian winger not for sale.

Al-Ahli were the side he would have joined as they ready to offer the 32-year-old a contract until June 2026 but City's stance is strong as they do not want to lose him.

Mahrez had a strong season with City playing 47 games in all competitions scoring 15 goals whilst getting 13 assists so it is clear to see why the Premier League Champions don't want to lose him.

With rumours linking Bernardo Silva away it would be a big hit for Pep Guardiola to lose his first choice right wingers.
