As expected, Riyad Mahrez is close to extend his stay at Manchester City. According to L’Equipe, the Algerian international will refresh his contract with Etihad for a new three-year deal.

The extension would see him under contract until 2025, joining players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Joao Concelo and Emerson who have committed their immediate future to the club in long-term deals.

Also, Mahrez has been linked with a move elsewhere, with the likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint Germain and Juventus reportedly keen on the winger before talks of a new contract were brought up.

After a slow start to life with the Citizens, Mahrez built a reputation for himself as being one of Pep Guardiola’s most important attackers, particularly in the last two seasons.

The Algerian forward has been City’s highest goalscorer for two campaigns on the trot. And he recently had a memorable run in the 2022 UEFA Champions League, scoring seven goals in 12 outings. In total, Mahrez scored 24 goals and recorded nine assists in 47 games last season.
