According to Saudi media outlet Asharq Al-Awsat, Mahrez is likely to remain in the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Shabab in serious negotiations with the Algerian winger .

Asharq Al-Awsat previously reported that Mahrez has been in contact with both Al-Shabab and Al-Ettifaq. As the summer transfer window progresses, the 35-year-old's connection with Al-Shabab has grown stronger.

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 a potential transfer to the Saudi capital club.

According to Italian journalist Gianluca Giuffrida, negotiations between Al-Shabab and Mahrez are underway, with both sides hoping to reach an agreement before the transfer window closes. The talks are focused on the player's salary.

Sources indicate that Mahrez is seeking an annual salary close to $10 million, while Al-Shabab is attempting to lower this figure to finalize a deal with the Algerian player.

Mahrez expressed a desire to return to Europe after leaving Al-Ahli, but the lack of substantial offers may lead him to stay in the Saudi Pro League, which has been one of the most significant experiences in his recent professional career.

The former Manchester City star performed exceptionally well for Al-Ahli, helping the club win two consecutive AFC Champions League Elite titles. He subsequently announced his retirement from international football following Algeria's 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
