The Algerian international Riyad Mahrez is very criticized in Saudi Arabia not only for his performance, judged to be inconsistent, but also for his recent statements to the local press.
Not satisfied with transfer window carried out by his club, Al Ahlythe captain “Fennecs” did not hesitate to attack the Saudi sports authorities for their lack of financial support.

“ Mahrez must be sanctioned for his club. He has no reason to complain about the lack of financial support“. he said in a statement given to the show “ Dawrina “which is broadcast on Saudi television.
Mahrez's difficult start to the 2024-2025 season
The former player of Manchester City is slow to return to his best level in this 2024-2025 season, much to the dismay of his admirers.
In 8 matches played, he was content to score just 1 while delivering 3 assists.
A very average performance for someone who was at one time one of the best right wingers in the world.
