Riyad Mahrez is reportedly in the frame to be awarded a new contract at Manchester City.
According to the Sun, the reigning Premier League champions are keen on tying Mahrez down to a new contract, with the attacker’s current deal set to expire in 2023.
With City being on a tear of sorts in getting key players to renew their contracts, it makes sense why Mahrez is next for the Manchester giants. The winger was crucial to the club’s Premier League triumph last season.
Moreover, Mahrez was one of City’s most important players in the club’s run to the Champions League final. The former Leicester star bagged key goals in the knockout stages.
The forward is a fans’ favourite at the Etihad Stadium. And news of Mahrez signing a new contract has been met with a positive reaction on social media.
The Premier League star is one of the club’s best big-game players, and keeping Mahrez during the prime years of his career will be crucial if City are to win the Champions League in the coming years.
City fans laud decision to hand Mahrez a new contract
City have made a good habit of signing players who will form the core of the club in the future. And on social media, supporters are buzzing that Mahrez will be handed a new contract in the coming weeks.
After all, the Algeria international is one of the club’s most dynamic and dangerous players. Keeping him around for a few more years will no doubt lead to more success for the Manchester giants in the upcoming seasons.
Here’s what some City fans on Twitter had to say about Mahrez potentially signing a new contract…
