Riyad Mahrez, 35-year-old Algerian winger, emerges as an option in the Dépor's transfer market to complete their squad. The player has been unrestricted since his contract with Al-Ahli ended on July 4th, making his arrival not require a transfer fee.

The interest from the Coruña team arises after a summer in which the club has brought in players with international experience. Dépor has already completed deals for players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Angeliño, and Adama Traoré, but still considers the possibility of adding one more piece to their squad.

Riyad Mahrez, a market option for Dépor

Mahrez became available after three seasons at Al-Ahli. The Saudi club confirmed his departure following a stint of 122 matches, 37 goals, and 46 assists, along with two titles in the AFC Champions League Elite and a Saudi Super Cup.

His free agent status allows Dépor to negotiate a contract directly with the player without having to pay a transfer compensation. The main difficulty of the operation would be in the economic conditions demanded by Mahrez, a dimension that hasn't been disclosed in relation to Dépor's interest.

Mahrez played 51 games, scored 12 goals, and provided 10 assists for Al-Ahli during the 2025-26 season. These stats explain why he still has options despite currently being without a club.

The player has also attracted interest from other markets. Al-Qadsiah even considered signing him as a free agent at the end of July, while other possibilities in Saudi Arabia and Turkey have been mentioned in recent weeks.

Dépor considers signing Mahrez without a transfer fee

Mahrez's contract situation sets this deal apart from Dépor's major signings this summer. The winger is no longer with Al-Ahli and can join another club without negotiations for his federative rights.

Dépor's context is also relevant. The team has returned to La Liga and has built a squad with internationally experienced players, including Aubameyang and Adama Traoré, two signings that enhance the attacking profile of the team led by Antonio Hidalgo.

Mahrez would bring accumulated experience from the Premier League, Ligue 1, Saudi football, and his journey with the Algerian national team. His last full season at Al-Ahli ended with 22 direct goal involvements in the league, combining his goals and assists.

However, Mahrez's arrival would depend on reaching a contractual agreement. The European market has closed or is in its final stages, but his free agent status allows the Algerian to negotiate his move even after the transfer window closes.

Thus, Dépor explores a different path to complete their squad: Riyad Mahrez doesn't require a transfer fee and remains available after leaving Al-Ahli. The next step will be to see if the Coruña club can progress from interest to a concrete contractual proposal.
