Well, Mahrez was getting into the main team less and less anyway, so I will say that this was expected. Al Ahly have shown interest in him and it is possible that they will leave City this offseason. Well, on the other hand, he can play for City under a contract for another two years. In this case, he need to evaluate how much he can guarantee himself a place in the main team in order to spend more time on the field, and not on the bench.
The Algerian is expected to be given continuous regular playing time at Etihad Stadium; this is something we need to keep in mind because elite teams demand the best possible performance from their players at all times; they have no tolerance for uncertainty. Riyad Mahrez is a terrific versatile player who can handle the frontline, and we can all see that he has been working vigorously to make the first-team squad. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is a visionary; he is in authority and exclusively selects the most outstanding players to represent for the club he manages.
