Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez is the latest big name to be intensely pursued by the Saudi Pro League.

Mahrez has been linked with a Man City exit since the end of last season after losing his place in the club's biggest games.

Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli made contact with Mahrez last month and have been in talks with his camp, looking for ways to make a deal happen but Manchester City are reluctant to let the winger depart.

According to 90min, the Etihad club will only sell Mahrez if a suitable offer arrives and the Saudi club are yet to do so but are expected to open talks soon.

At the moment, the 32-year-old has a contract offer on the table from Al-Ahli worth a reported £45m-a-year and is believed to be open to an exit.

Meanwhile, Man City have offered Kyle Walker a contract extension to keep him away from Bayern Munich this summer.
