At first I thought that Riyad Mahrez would go to an Arab club just a rumour. But I was quite surprised that it turned out that one of the Arab clubs, namely Al-Ahli, was really serious about getting Riyad Mahrez. According to rumors, the transfer price is indeed 30 million. but I think the numbers are much more than that. Because Riyad Mahrez is one of the important players in the Man City squad. So I was quite surprised that Man City let Riyad Mahrez easily. The first offer was immediately rejected by Man City but Al-Ahli did not take long and immediately made a second offer which immediately received a positive response from Man City.
Manchester City manager Pep explained that they really want to keep him, but they have no choice since they need finance due to some problems they are having, and also said that more will come before the end of the transfer window.
Is that a sign that there will be more players to be released in the transfer market this time? I rarely update information regarding Man City. Because I think this club will do well when it comes to money. Because the owner of this club is so rich. But it seems my guess was wrong. But I hope Man City's core players can stay longer at the club. Although there are rumors that one of the other core players of Man City is also being targeted by an Arab club. But any club will find it difficult to refuse the high transfer prices offered by interested clubs. So I understand this.
What do you expect since so many players have chosen the money over the passion they had for football, and in today's football, players play for money, not like our former players who played for passion.
This Saudi League is seeking the attention of people, which is why they are taking players from Europe, but to some extent, I like it because all these players that are going there are aged, and therefore, it will be a chance for young, talented players.
Well, the players who go to the Arab league are not young players. But some of them are still good players and still make important contributions to their previous clubs. But well, maybe something like this will make young European players have more opportunities to show their excellence in European clubs when their seniors go to Arabs. But it's only a matter of time. If the Arab league is getting more advanced and getting known. then maybe in the following seasons there will be young players who will follow their seniors to the Arab club.
