Saudi Club Secures Mendy, Leaves Mahrez's Future in Question

Mendy Makes the Move: Two-Year Renewal Announced

Al-Ahli Saudi FC has decided to extend goalkeeper Édouard Mendy's contract beyond the current season.

According to regional outlets, the renewal covers two seasons, acknowledging Mendy's standout form since arriving from Chelsea and his key role in helping the club win the Elite Asian Champions League for the first time and lift the Saudi Super Cup.

Mahrez's Status: Renewal Off the Table

In contrast, Al-Ahli has no plans to renew Riyad Mahrez's contract, which expires in the summer of 2027.

Sources indicate the star, who is now past 34, may not continue, with mutual indications from both sides not to extend the agreement.

Punchlines: If renewals were goals, Mendy just scored a double. And for Mahrez, at 34, he might be chasing a new club and a better coffee in Jeddah.
