Al Jazira Club has entered the race to sign Algerian star Riyad Mahrez, as reports indicate serious efforts to secure his transfer during the ongoing summer transfer window, aimed at strengthening the squad for the upcoming season.
According to the same reports, the Emirati club is looking to finalize the deal on a free transfer, taking advantage of the player's current situation, which has attracted interest from several clubs following the end of his international career with the Algerian national team.
Al Jazira's interest in Mahrez comes at a time when his football future is shrouded in uncertainty, especially after concluding his participation in the 2026 World Cup and announcing his retirement from international play, which has fueled speculation about his next destination.
The former captain of the Algerian national team holds a prominent place in Arab and African football, having built a successful career filled with achievements and titles with the clubs he represented, along with his influential role in the major accomplishments of the "Desert Warriors," including leading the national team to win the Africa Cup of Nations title in 2019.
