Saudi press reports revealed that the management of Al-Ahli Saudi Club has finalized its decision regarding the future of its Algerian star Riyad Mahrez, thus putting an end to recent speculations about his potential departure at the end of the current season.

According to the report, the club's management officially informed the player that there is no intention to let him go, affirming their commitment to keeping him until the end of his contract, which extends to the summer of 2027, due to their belief in his technical importance and influential role within the team.

This move came in response to reports about the potential transfer of Mahrez during the upcoming summer transfer window, amid interest from American clubs, in addition to reports indicating an intention to sign a new foreign winger. However, the management quickly closed the file, considering the Algerian international as one of the key pillars in the current club project.

Mahrez played a significant role in Al-Ahly's triumph in the AFC Champions League for the elite last season and continues to deliver outstanding performances this season, keeping his team in contention for the Saudi Roshn League title.

These numbers reflect the integral role Mahrez plays, as his impact is not limited to scoring goals but extends to playmaking and leading attacks, affirming his position as one of the key players for Al-Ahli this season.
