An official announcement from Al-Ahli has confirmed the departure of Riyad Mahrez. Mahrez, who was under contract until June 2027, has been released by the club.

Riyad Mahrez, a 35-year-old winger, could leave Al Ahli during this summer transfer window.

Mahrez joined Al-Ahli in July 2023 and is under contract until June 30, 2027. In the 2025/2026 Saudi Pro League season, he recorded 4 goals and 9 assists in 27 appearances. His current market value is €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
