Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez has reaffirmed his love for the club and stated that he has no desire to leave the club for pastures new.
The Algeria international has been linked with a whole host of clubs, with FC Barcelona, Arsenal, and Tottenham all been credited with some level of interest.
The former Leicester City Man has dismissed claims he will move clubs this summer and has committed his future to Manchester City with the goal of lifting more trophies with the side.
The forward has said he “doesn’t see higher” than the reigning Premier League champions after winning a hoard of trophies since signing for the side in 2018.
“What if I want to go higher? I do not see what is higher [than Manchester City ], he said in an exclusive interview with Oui Hustle this week.
“To try another championship [elsewhere]? No. I really love England and English football is wonderful. I don’t want to leave. I still have goals to pursue here.
“When you see Guardiola wants you, it’s flattering. The acclimatisation here was not easy, but our relationship today, everyone knows [is great].”
The Algerian joined City from Leicester in 2018 for £60million, helping the Blues win two Premier League titles, four domestic cups and reach last season’s Uefa Champions League final.
These Mahrez’s comment has prompt Plenty of Sky Blues to react on social media.
