Man City braced for Mahrez bid from Saudi Arabia as star offered even more than Henderson

Mahrez has been offered a deal worth around £865,000-a-week and is keen on the move.

It is understood the Saudi Pro League club are willing to pay £30m for the 32-year-old.

Mahrez has two years remaining on his contract at the Etihad, which is worth more than £6m-a-year.

The Algeria star scored ten goals in 41 appearances for City in their treble-winning 2022/23 campaign.

It comes after Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was offered £700,000-a-week to join Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia.

The England midfielder has two years remaining on his current Liverpool deal, which is worth £200,000-a-week.

After 12 years with the Reds, Henderson remains a key player and a vital leader in the dressing room.

It is understood he will hold talks with manager Jurgen Klopp over his future in the coming days.

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho is also the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia.
