Al-Ahly winger Riyad Mahrez is hopeful that his squad will be able to enlist the services of legendary ARG star Lionel Messi, who is rumored to be moving to the Saudi Pro League. With one trophy already under his belt, Mahrez envisions Messi, a lauded playmaker, as a welcomed addition to the team.

Although there has been no confirmation of the rumor, Mahrez expressed his enthusiasm to play with the iconic forward. Mahrez, who himself made the move from Europe to the Saudi League, believes that Messi's unique style of play would be a perfect fit for Al-Ahly and hopes to be able to learn from the legend if he does join.

"I hope that Messi will join the Saudi League. Everyone knows that Messi is one of the best players in the world, and we hope that he will come to our club, Al-Ahly, so we can work together and achieve titles," Mahrez said in an interview.

"It will be a great experience for me to play with him. I think that Messi's style of play will suit Al-Ahly and will make us a better team," he added.

The 29-year-old Algerian international praised the standard of football in the Saudi Pro League and explained how he relishes the challenge of showcasing his skills amongst other talented players in the league.

"I think the Saudi League is a very good league, and the level is getting better and better. There are many good players here, and I am happy to be part of it," Mahrez said.

"I think the league is getting more attention from players and clubs, and that is good for the league and for the clubs. I think it is a challenge for me to come here and play against good players," he added.

The rumored arrival of Messi has already generated a tremendous amount of buzz around the league and if the ARG star does decide to move to Saudi, Riyad Mahrez will surely be thrilled to have him as a teammate.
