Riyad Mahrez 'could attempt to leave Manchester City in January'

Manchester City attacker Riyad Mahrez could reportedly seek a move away from the Etihad Stadium during the January transfer window.

The 30-year-old has made 15 appearances for the Citizens during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring eight times and contributing two assists in the process.

Mahrez has only played 15 minutes of football in Man City's last three Premier League games, though, and is allegedly becoming frustrated with his rotation role at the club.

According to Foot Mercato, the Algeria international is ready to explore his options when the winter transfer window opens for business.

The report claims that Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain remain admirers of the attacker and could be tempted to make a move in January if Man City signal that they would be prepared to sell him.

Mahrez, who only has a contract with Pep Guardiola's side until June 2023, has found the back of the net on four occasions in four Champions League outings this term.
