Al-Ahli Targeting Riyad Mahrez Transfer from Manchester City.

Riyad Mahrez, the 32-year-old winger, has experienced a decline in his position among wide players at Manchester City, particularly with the preference given to Bernardo Silva in important matches.

Despite starting in 22 league games since the World Cup, it appears that Mahrez has lost his place in Pep Guardiola’s preferred starting lineup.

Recent reports indicate that Al-Ahli, a football club, is highly interested in acquiring Riyad Mahrez from Manchester City, and their interest has been described as “confirmed and concrete.”

However, it’s important to note that Al-Ahli has not yet approached Manchester City regarding a potential transfer.

With Riyad Mahrez’s contract set to expire in 2025, Manchester City would only consider a transfer if they can secure a transfer fee for him. They are not willing to let him leave on a free transfer.

It remains to be seen whether Al-Ahli will make a formal approach to Manchester City to initiate negotiations for Mahrez’s transfer.

Arsenal to Submit £90m Bid for Declan Rice.

In a swift move, Arsenal is preparing to make a £90 million offer to secure the services of Declan Rice. However, they may be required to pay the full transfer fee within two years to West Ham, the current club of the English midfielder.

The Gunners plan to present a formal bid to West Ham in the coming days. West Ham chairman David Sullivan values Rice at over £100 million.

Declan Rice, also attracting interest from Manchester United, recently led West Ham to victory in the Europa Conference League final, becoming a significant figure in the club’s history.

Arsenal considers Rice their top transfer target and believes they are leading the race to secure his signature.

Inter Miami Considers Reuniting Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria.

Following Angel Di Maria’s announcement that he will leave Juventus, Inter Miami, owned by David Beckham, is reportedly contemplating a move to reunite Di Maria with his international teammate Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi recently announced his intention to join Inter Miami, marking his departure from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the Ligue 1 season.

While Di Maria was linked with a potential move to Saudi Arabia or a return to Barcelona, he has ultimately decided to leave Juventus. Inter Miami has set their sights on the World Cup-winning midfielder, who will also be a free agent this summer.

Real Madrid Withdraw Harry Kane Interest, Opening Path for Manchester United.

Manchester United has reportedly received a boost in their pursuit of Harry Kane as Real Madrid is said to have ended their interest in the Tottenham striker.

Despite initial expectations that Karim Benzema’s departure would spark Madrid’s interest in Kane, AS reports that the Spanish club is unwilling to meet Tottenham’s valuation, leading them to withdraw from the race. This development could favour Manchester United’s chances of signing the English striker.

Sheffield United Parts Ways with Billy Sharp.

Sheffield United has made the decision to release striker Billy Sharp, effectively ending his chances of representing his boyhood club in the Premier League next season.

Sharp, 37 years old, came through the youth ranks at Bramall Lane and has made 377 appearances, scoring 129 goals during his three spells at the club.

Although Sharp played a significant role in Sheffield United’s promotion from the Championship and their run to the FA Cup semi-finals last season, manager Paul Heckingbottom has determined that he does not deserve a new contract in the top flight.

Jack O’Connell and Enda Stevens will also depart the club after contributing to the team’s promotions over the years. However, Sheffield United has exercised contract options to retain Oliver Norwood, Oliver McBurnie, Wes Foderingham, and Ismaila Coulibaly. Negotiations are ongoing for new deals with John Fleck, Jack Robinson, and Ben Osborn.
