What happens inside Al-Raqi?
The future of Algerian Riyad Mahrez is back to being strongly enforced in the corridors of Al-Ahly club, after recent hours have witnessed new developments that could completely change the scene, despite the activation of the player’s release clause.
Indicators have confirmed the end of Mahrez’s career with Al-Raqi, but recent developments have opened the door to the unlikely scenario of him continuing with the team.
Khaled Al-Zahrani, a journalist close to Al-Ahly, has confirmed that there is tension within Al-Ahly over the Algerian captain’s future in light of the disagreement over the decision to leave.
Sources say the door to a move on Mahrez has not been permanently closed after he was presented with a new offer demanding an extra season on a symbolic salary in an attempt to keep him in the squad.

Mahrez, on the other hand, has expressed his clear desire to continue his career at Al-Ahly, rejecting the idea of leaving for now as he has made contact with senior management levels to discuss what has happened in recent days and seek an exit that will guarantee his continuation.
These developments come at a time when the player’s future is still uncertain, with anticipation of what internal negotiations will bring, especially with voices at the club supporting Mahrez’s retention, versus others who believe the next round calls for injecting new blood into the squad’s overseas roster.
It is expected that the final picture will be decided in the coming days, whether the Algerian star will continue in Al-Ahly or if the matter is closed forever and his departure is officially announced.
