Pep Guardiola: Manchester City powerless to stop Riyad Mahrez leaving
After Manchester City failed to prevent Riyad Mahrez's departure, Pep Guardiola conceded that the Saudi Pro League's financial power can no longer be disregarded.
He still represented France’s under-21 team as recently as July this year, but after failing to make the jump to the first team, has decided to take his talents to the birth place of his ancestors, Algeria.
Gouiri’s defection to Algeria means that the Foxes now possess his talents alongside the like of Riyad Mahrez, Saïd Benrahma, and Houssem Aouar in their ranks ahead of the 2023 AFCON which is just months away.
