Mahrez is fine at Manchester City, but ...
Asked by his Manchester City teammate Benjamin Mendy on the possibility, one day, of playing for Paris Saint-Germain or Olympique de Marseille, attacking midfielder Riyad Mahrez remained vague at the microphone of Canal +.
"It's true that I was a supporter of Marseille when I was little," said the native of Longjumeau in the Paris region.
After if the PSG… It is not topical because I am still under contract and I am well in Manchester.
But Paris is my city.
I was born and raised in Paris.
We never know."
The Algerian international (29) also confirmed that he could have worn the jersey of OM, a club he supported younger: “I could have gone to play in Marseille and I can still go to play in Marseille.
You never know in life, you shouldn't close any door.
It was at the time, I didn't know, and I was fine at Leicester, but they judged that I did not have the level. "

A major problem for Liverpool, of which the Dutchman was the captain in defense.
According to the
Sunday Mirror

Benlamri explains why he signed for Lyon
Recruited for free at the very end of the summer transfer window by Olympique Lyonnais, Djamel Benlamri came to bring his experience in central defense.
The Algerian international (30), winner of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, left Al-Shabab FC, in Saudi Arabia, where he had been playing for 4 years.
And joining OL is "a sporting choice", explains Benlamri in the Colonns du
Progrès
.
“I thought about my selection,” he explains.
There are going to be qualifiers for the World Cup so I have to stay level. ”
If he has not yet started with Lyon, Benlamri, who is discovering Europe, says he is "very proud to be in a great club, a historic team".

Youcef Belaïli to Qatar instead of Boudebouz
"Ligue 1 interests me", assured Youcef Belaïli last month, interviewed by
France Football
.
The left winger passed through Angers in 2017 (one match) designated “a return to Europe” as his priority.
Finally, the 28-year-old Algerian, without a contract after a season with the Saudis of Al-Ahli SC, should join the Qatar Sports Club according to
Foot Mercato
.
The two parties would have agreed on a contract until 2023. The case could be completed in the coming days.
Belaïli would thus benefit from the failed transfer of his compatriot and AS Saint-Étienne player, Ryad Boudebouz.
