Manchester City had an almost perfect 2022/23 season. They won the titles of the 3 most important tournaments of the year, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League. The latter, for the first time in its history and after losing the final to Chelsea in 2021. Now the challenge is not to relax and maintain the level, trying to become favorites to win the championships again.

 

However, this summer has not been easy for the Citizens, as they have lost one of their best players and others could follow suit. The first to leave was Ilkay Gundogan, who decided not to renew his contract and left as a free agent for Barcelona. This is undoubtedly an important loss for Guardiola, as the German midfielder was the captain of the team and one of the best players.

In addition, there are others who are being targeted by clubs in Europe. Julian Alvarez was among the possibilities of Real Madrid, if Kylian Mbappé finally stays at Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich, who are also negotiating for Harry Kane. Bernardo Silva could also leave, as Barcelona want to sign him.

Now the news is that Riyad Mahrez may leave Manchester City for Saudi Arabia. According to Daily Mail, the Algerian winger has an agreement with Al-Ahli to play next season in the Pro League. If true, it would only remain for the Arab club to send an offer to the Citizens that is high enough for them to accept his departure.

 

Not much of a place for him

Although Mahrez was an important player in Manchester, during the last season he lost place in Guardiola's consideration and did not have too many opportunities to play, especially in the most decisive games. Nevertheless, he scored 15 goals and provided 14 assists in 47 games.
