Riyad Mahrez: Fenerbahçe linked with move for Al-Ahli winger

Share This Article:

Fenerbahçe have been linked with a move for Al-Ahli right winger Riyad Mahrez, with the 35-year-old’s future in the Saudi Pro League increasingly uncertain.

Data from Transfermarkt on 9 April 2026 lists Mahrez, who plays for Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli and wears the number seven shirt, as a rumoured target for the Turkish Süper Lig club, with the probability of a deal currently marked as unknown (“?”). His contract situation at Al-Ahli is not specified, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent if his deal has expired or is allowed to run down.

Mahrez, valued at €7.00m, remains a notable attacking option on the right flank, operating as an inverted winger from the right with his preferred left foot. Born in Clichy on 21 February 1991, the Algerian-French forward holds dual nationality (Algeria and France) and stands at 1.79m.

No formal agreement between Al-Ahli and Fenerbahçe has been reported in the data, and there is no confirmed transfer fee attached to the speculation beyond his indicative market valuation. The latest update on the rumour is timestamped at 11:10 on 9 April 2026.

Mahrez currently represents Al-Ahli SFC at club level, with no national-team details included in the provided information. Recent specific match data for Al-Ahli, including opponents, dates, scorelines and Mahrez’s individual performance, is not listed in the dataset, so his most recent on-pitch contribution cannot be independently verified here.

With his experience as a high-profile right winger and a market value that suggests he could still command significant interest or move on a free if his contract has expired, a switch to Istanbul would represent a notable late-career chapter. Should the transfer materialise, a move to Fenerbahçe could shape the final phase of Mahrez’s career and add a high-profile name to the Süper Lig.
