admin Manchester City will have to find a replacement for Riyad Mahrez this summer.
Manchester City have to find a replacement for Riyad Mahrez at the Etihad Stadium and Rudy Galetti has named four players to Pep Guardiola’s shortlist in an interview with GIVEMESPORT. The Algerian full-back has been a key player for City since joining the club but Guardiola will be without him this season.

Mahrez completed a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli last month, joining a host of players to have made the switch to the Middle East.
City do have options internally to replace him, with the likes of Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva having played out wide during their time at the Etihad.
However, Guardiola may be in the market for a more natural, out-and-out winger to replace a player who has been pivotal over the last few years.
The 32-year-old scored 78 goals and provided 59 assists in 236 appearances for City, as per Transfermarkt.

What has Galetti said about Man City?
Galetti has suggested that Jeremy Doku, Raphinha, Michael Olise, and Nico Williams, who are worth a combined £134m as per Transfermarkt, are all on City’s shortlist at the Etihad.
The journalist adds that Doku is one of the main options, with Rennes set to demand in the region of £34m for the winger.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “Manchester City consider Jeremy Doku one of the main options to replace Riyad Mahrez and ask for around £34m to let him go.
“The sensation is that the French club is not open to negotiating his price tag to facilitate his farewell. No decision has been made yet on City’s side.
“Raphinha, Michael Olise, also followed by Chelsea, and Nico Williams – just some names on their radar.”
