According to Saudi media outlet Asharq Al-Awsat, Mahrez is close to finalizing a move to Al-Shabab, with the club having initiated serious negotiations with the Algerian winger.
Asharq Al-Awsat previously reported that Mahrez had been in contact with both Al-Shabab and Al-Ettifaq. As the summer transfer window progresses, the 35-year-old player's ties with Al-Shabab are strengthening.
Speculation about Mahrez's next destination has intensified after he began following Al-Shabab's official social media accounts, a move that has fueled discussions about his potential transfer to the Saudi capital club.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Dilaria, contact between Al-Shabab and Mahrez remains ongoing, with both parties hoping to reach an agreement before the transfer window closes. Negotiations are centered on the player's salary.
External sources indicate that Mahrez is seeking an annual salary of approximately $10 million, while Al-Shabab is attempting to reduce this figure to finalize an agreement with the Algerian player.
After leaving Al-Ahli, Mahrez initially expressed a desire to return to Europe, but the lack of substantial offers may lead him to remain in the Saudi league, which has become a significant chapter in his recent career.
The former Manchester City star performed exceptionally well for Al-Ahli, helping the team win two consecutive AFC Champions League Elite titles. He subsequently announced his retirement from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
