Manchester City have agreed a £30m deal for Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli to sign Algeria winger Riyad Mahrez.
The 32-year-old has been given permission not to travel on City's pre-season trip to Japan and South Korea.
That had already been agreed providing City received a bid that matched their valuation of Mahrez, who had two years left on his contract.
City paid £60m for Mahrez in 2018 and he scored 15 goals from 47 games in the Blues' Treble-winning season.
However, he was an unused substitute for both the FA Cup and Champions League finals and manager Pep Guardiola has opted to let him join the list of big-name recruits by the SPL this summer.
Liverpool have also agreed a £12m deal in principle worth £12m plus add-ons to sell England midfielder Jordan Henderson to Al-Ettifaq.
