How much could Mahrez possibly earn with a move to the Saudi Pro League?

Riyad Mahrez could earn a salary of £ 25 million per season and could be one of the likes to join the Saudi Arabian teams like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kante, Benzema and more. The Algerian star was part of the historic Premier League-winning squad of Leicester City and went on to win 4 more EPL titles with Manchester City. The player was one of the best players in the City squad but his time was limited after the arrivals of stars like Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland and Pep often started the player on the bench. He still has a contract with the UEFA Champions League champions till 2025 but looks for more game time.
